The word ‘hydrophobic’ actually means water-resisting or in normal words, something that has a fear of water. In eyeglasses, it’s basically a 20–30-nanometer transparent coating of titanium dioxide that is placed on the surface of the lens. Hydrophobic coatings are not something new as people are making use of this for a long time on their prescription eyeglasses. It is also found on leaves and on the wings of many insects if you’ve ever noticed it. This is a simple reason why a dragonfly can also fly easily when it’s raining due to having a hydrophobic coating.
Hydrophobic coating is a microscopically thin layer that could be applied to a variety of surfaces and thus render them water-repellent. Hydrophobic coatings are a form of nanotechnology that could be used in various industrial domains such as aerospace, automotive, marine, electronics, and so on. It can be applied to a wide range of products and materials such as building & construction materials, textiles, and more.
Advantages of hydrophobic coatings include dirt retention, improved moisture resistance, improved corrosion resistance, self-cleanability, and extended life expectancy of the coating.
Benefits of Hydrophobic Coatings:
• Anything based on water, mostly when our sweat gets on the lens, they are likely to create drops as shown in the image above, which tends to form optical distortion.
• A hydrophobic coating supports greatly repelling water drops from the lens surface as the stiffness between the liquid and the hydrophobic exterior is lower. So, when any droplets come in contact with the hydrophobic lens, they are more likely to resist the lens much more than they usually do. This is surely a great benefit on rainy days, and for those who are athletic and sweat is the major problem in their daily routine.
• Hydrophobic coating lenses are also anti-static that keeps dust and dirt particles away from them. When such particles come into contact with these lenses, they are likely to simply fall off.
• Hydrophobic coatings also require less cleaning than the normal ones as it significantly repels stains and grease from our fingers. This way, cleaning the lenses is much faster as well as stress-free.
