Anti-Icing Coatings

PhaseBreak Flex is a two-part tough siloxane coating  that provides a hydrophobic surface and reduces ice particle adhesion  (ice-phobicity). The coating is a unique formulation of siloxanes,  silanes, and titanates that enable an ambient cure system. The coating  is easy to apply by air or airless spray equipment, or by brush. This  coating develops a hydrophobic surface that sheds water and ice from  static surfaces, such as power equipment, satellite dishes, and steel  structures.

The coating has a contact angle of 100-120 degrees and  easily sheds water from the surface. It is also tough and flexible and  bonds well to steel. Bonding to aluminum, stainless steel, and many  plastics requires a primer to achieve good adhesion.

PhaseBreak Flex MPD is a two-part tough siloxane  coating that provides a hydrophobic surface and reduces ice particle  adhesion (ice-phobicity). The coating is a unique formulation of  siloxanes, silanes, and freezing point depressants that enable an ambient cure system. The coating is easy to apply by air or airless  spray equipment, or by brush. This coating was designed to shed ice from  static surfaces, such as power equipment, satellite dishes, and steel  structures.

The coating reduces ice adhesion using two approaches.  First, the coating is formulated with a specialty oil that  significantly reduces inherent ice adhesion. Secondly, freezing point  depressants are formulated into the coating to melt ice at the surface  of the coating. These freezing point depressants are non-toxic and  environmentally safe. The resultant coating has good durability, and  excellent resistance to ice formation.
