PS200 Hydrophobic Glass Coating

PS200 is a product that serves the needs of several markets.  These markets include;

Ø  Optical Fibers

Ø  Laboratory Glassware

Ø  Fluorescent Light Bulbs

Ø  Clinical Analysis

Following treatment with PS200, Optical Fibers benefit by having greater lubricity and are less likely to break or shard during fabrication and operational flexing. 

After being treated with PS200, Laboratory Glass exhibits improved drainage, greater strength and is less likely to scratch or break if dropped.

When Fluorescent Light Bulbs are treated with PS200, the finished lights show greatly improved scratch resistance and surface resistivity.  And as in the aforementioned examples, the strength of the glass bulb is increased so that breakage is dramatically reduced.

Clinical analytical equipment can be treated with PS200 and result in extended clotting times and reduced hemolysis and protein adsorption with blood samples

And PS200 is easy to use!

Just clean the glass surface with an alkaline detergent and rinse well with tap water.

Using ordinary tap water, prepare a 1% PS200 solution.

Immerse the object in the PS200 solution for 5 to 10 seconds, ensuring that all the surfaces are wetted by the solution.

After immersion, remove the object from the solution and thoroughly rinse with tap water to remove the excess PS200 from the surface.

Cure the treated object by bringing the surface temperature to 100°C for three to five minutes.  Or cure by air drying for 24 hours in a relative humidity less than 65%.

PS200 has a 6 month shelf life and cannot be used for food or drug applications.
