Superhydrophobic. One coat. Rain, ice, and snow off your antenna — done.

VIRIDYN SH-1

Superhydrophobic. One coat. Rain, ice, and snow off your antenna — done.

The Problem

Monsoon rain, salt-fog, and ice loading degrade antenna signal year-round. Water film on an antenna surface causes measurable, consistent signal loss.

What It Does

One-step superhydrophobic coating for antennas and radomes. Contact angle 140°–165° — water bounces straight off. RF-transparent. Air-cures in 2 hours.

Use Cases

  • 5G base station radomes and antenna housings
  • SATCOM dishes and flat-panel arrays in coastal and monsoon-exposed locations
  • Military ground-based and vehicle-mounted antenna systems (DRDO, Mil-STD applications)
  • Marine microwave links and offshore platform communications
  • Environmental sensors (wind, radiometric) in wet climates

Compliance Notes

Flammable solvents. Store at 20–30°C. Shelf life: 1 year. Electrical resistivity: ~2 tera ohms. Not suitable for surfaces that will be rubbed or handled post-application.

Key Features

  • Superhydrophobic (140°–165° contact angle) — industry-leading water repellency; prevents water film formation entirely
  • RF-transparent (dielectric constant 3 at 100 MHz) — no insertion loss, no signal interference
  • Anti-ice and anti-snow — significantly reduces accumulation, protecting signal in cold or high-altitude environments
  • Long-term durability — accelerated ageing tests show 138° contact angle after 10 simulated years; 119° after 15 years
  • 1-step application — spray or roll-on, 2-hour air cure; no primer, no two-part mixing
  • Military colour options — available in Desert Tan, Frosty-White, Frosty-Gray and other tints
