Optimization of a Low Surface Energy Coating for Enhanced Water Resistance and Condensation Suppression

This study focuses on formulating a low-surface-energy, water-resistant, and anti-condensation coating utilizing a fluorocarbon and acrylic resins composite (FAC), enhanced by six functional additives: antistatic agents, water-repellent agents, nanofillers, anti-mold and anti-algae agent, leveling agents, and wetting and dispersing agents. An orthogonal experimental design was implemented to systematically investigate the effects of varying concentrations of these additives on the surface tension of the coating. The results show that the optimized combination of fluorocarbon and acrylic resins composite (OFAC)with functional additives significantly reduces the surface tension, thereby improving both water resistance and anti-condensation properties. This research advances the development of more efficient surface treatment technologies, particularly for applications requiring enhanced water resistance and anti-condensation performance.
