CytoPel 1600-CoFS

CytoPel 1600-CoFS is a one, two or four percent silane-functional fluoropolymer solution in a fluorosolvent (BP=160°C) for coating glass and other oxide rich surfaces. Properly dried films have a  surface energy of 8-10 dynes/cm.  1600-CoFS is recommended for spin applications. On mesh, CytoPel does not occlude pores and helps achieve oleophobicity grades up to 8.  Trimethoxy Silane (FS) functionality improves adhesion to glass, ceramic, and metal.  Formulations with fluorescent tracers are also available. Please contact Cytonix for custom formulations or help with product selection.
