Gentoo™ Overview

​

Gentoo™ is an advanced hydrophobic coating technology that combines military-grade corrosion protection with easy-clean properties. Designed for harsh environments, Gentoo™ extends the lifespan of assets, reduces maintenance costs, and offers superior protection against corrosion, dirt, and other damaging elements. Explore below to learn more about how Gentoo™ works, its corrosion protection benefits, and its unique cleaning properties.

​

How Does Gentoo™ Work?

Gentoo™ is a dense polymer coating that forms an effective barrier against corrosion initiators, such as water, oils, and other fluids. Unlike conventional coatings, Gentoo™ combines hydrophobic and oleophobic properties to repel both water and oils, making it highly effective in harsh environments. Its ultra-thin (4-8 microns) yet dense layer ensures long-lasting protection without sacrificing flexibility or clarity.

​

Gentoo™ also adheres well to various surfaces, including metals, plastics, and glass, ensuring robust protection across different industries. Whether it’s abrasion resistance or corrosion prevention, Gentoo™ delivers reliable performance that outlasts traditional coatings.

Gentoo™ Corrosion Protection

Corrosion can compromise the integrity of equipment and infrastructure, leading to costly repairs and downtime. Gentoo™ acts as a formidable barrier against corrosion by shedding moisture, salts, and other corrosive agents before they can cause damage. This significantly extends the life of metal surfaces, even in extreme environments such as marine or industrial settings.

Gentoo™ has been tested rigorously for its corrosion resistance and has proven to outperform traditional coatings. Its clear, thin application doesn’t affect the appearance of surfaces, making it ideal for everything from heavy machinery to delicate components like fasteners and electronics.

Gentoo™ Clean Equipment

Gentoo™’s low surface energy not only repels water and oils but also prevents dirt and grime from adhering to surfaces. This makes cleaning much easier and reduces the amount of water and cleaning agents required. For industries where hygiene and maintenance are critical, such as healthcare, aviation, or public spaces, Gentoo™ provides an efficient solution to keep equipment clean and free from contaminants.

Additionally, Gentoo™ acts as an effective graffiti deterrent. Its coating causes spray paint to bead up, making it easy to remove without leaving residue behind. This makes Gentoo™ a valuable asset for public infrastructure, schools, and commercial properties prone to vandalism.
