What Is Hydrophobic Coating for Glasses?
Hydrophobic coating is a thin surface layer that repels water, which makes water bead up and roll off the surface of lenses easily. “Hydrophobic” also means “extremely afraid of water.”
How Does Hydrophobic Coating Work?
Hydrophobic coatings work by altering the surface of a material to form a rough texture with tiny bumps and crevices. When water comes into contact with this surface, it does not diffuse but forms small droplets that fall on top of the surface features. These droplets are almost spherical and do not adhere to the material. Instead, they roll off effortlessly, removing debris and dirt and making the surface self-cleaning.
