drops of red wine and ketchup most people are forced to mentally say goodbye to clothes or shoes. But the new superhydrophobic coating radically change this situatsiyu.

"Imagine that you spilled on the white shirt chocolate syrup or soy sauce, but instead absorb the liquid simply slide with a tissue as if nothing had happened. Fantastic? No, it's called NeverWet ", - he describes the novelty correspondent site Cnet.

Some time ago, there have been reports on the Internet on the establishment of superhydrophobic (hydrophobicity (from the ancient Greek. - Water and fear, fear) - is a physical property of a molecule to avoid contact with water) coating NeverWet, which repels liquid and can be applied to any surface. Recently, the developer of the product - the company "Ross Nanotechnology" (Ross Nanotechnology) - licensed it to the company "Rust-Oleum" (Rust-Oleum), a producer of paints and varnishes.

Representatives of the "Rust-Oleum" did not waste time and have already started selling the miracle spray, setting him on the price of $ 19, $ 97. Set NeverWet comprises two balloon - base and a top layer which can cover an area of ​​10 to 15 square meters, providing water repellency all surfaces, including metal, wood, fabric and plastic.

The coating for extremely simple: the first base coat is applied, drying after 30 minutes, and then the top or final layer, for the same time-setting. After this procedure, clothes, shoes or articles made of cardboard liquid is no longer afraid.

For example, you can safely load in the trunk of a box with ice, which is beer, and not be afraid that on arrival at the destination under it formed a puddle - a superhydrophobic coating reliably protects the board from moisture. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not recommend using NeverWet on transparent surfaces such as glass, because after drying it gives them a haze. This means that the new can not be applied to protect the electronics.
