CytoThane R06

CytoThane R06 are super-hydrophobic, water-repellent coatings.  Rain forms spherical beads and rolls off, preventing water film formation. CytoThane is used on marine and ground-based microwave antenna, 5G antenna, radomes, flat panel antenna, and other telecommunications gear to prevent rain fade. CytoThane is a one-part easy to use super-hydrophobic coating. CytoThane provides 140 to 165° contact angle performance in extreme sun and rain. CytoThane also significantly reduces snow and ice accumulation. CytoThane R06 is PFAS-free.  

Key Features:
Super-hydrophobic: Water forms spherical droplets and rolls off, preventing water films. 
Primer optional: It is a single-coat application that saves time during setup.  Adhesion and hardness can be enhanced with a basecoat  
Target uses:  Outdoor communication towers and antenna or localized maintenance.  And indoor fixtures including heat exchangers and filters.

Description: When rain creates a water or ice film on antenna, satellite dishes, and sensors it results in reduced or lost signal. On CytoThane coated dishes rain bead-up and roll-off resulting in reduced water and ice build-up. Water contact angles greater than 140° with a roll-off angle of less than 1° can be easily achieved.

Application:  Shake the bottle of vigorously for 60 seconds. CytoThane should be applied with rollers that are 4-inches long with nap thickness of half-inch. The 4 edges of the panel should be coated first. And then the coating should be rolled out over the panel surface in an up-down direction, followed by a left-right direction to ensure thorough and even distribution. The key objective is to ensure that CytoThane is uniformly distributed on the surface . For best rain performance, avoid touching or abrading the surface. Coverage of 1000 ml is 20 square meters. Cleanup with acetone.
