Nexar Anti-Fog coatings and films incorporate highly advanced technology that sets a new standard for protective eyewear. The solution combines Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic segments to effectively remove moisture that causes fogging while providing exceptional strength and flexibility as a coating or a film. The specialized nanochannels integrated into the coating and film surfaces can swiftly capture and absorb moisture upon contact, leaving no time for fog to form. Remarkably, the Nexar technology can absorb over 200% of its weight in water, surpassing conventional technologies like Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), which typically absorb less than 45% of its weight. Additionally, Kraton's commitment to safety is evident in the absence of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) -- "forever" chemicals found in many antifog options, providing the industry with an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative. 

Key Points: 
  • Through extensive research and innovation, Kraton has developed Nexar Anti-Fog coatings and films, offering a cutting-edge solution to the fogging problems commonly associated with certain PPE.
  • Nexar Anti-Fog technology helps provide healthcare workers with a superior solution that allows for prolonged, fog-free eyewear, ensuring uncompromised visibility.
  • "We are proud to introduce Nexar Anti-Fog coatings and films, which address the daily challenges healthcare professionals face.
  • Nexar Anti-Fog coatings and films incorporate highly advanced technology that sets a new standard for protective eyewear.

b'Fluorosurfactants are widely used in paint & coatings and is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period.\nFluorosurfactants are amphiphilic molecules that have hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts.

Key Points: 
  • b'Fluorosurfactants are widely used in paint & coatings and is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period.\nFluorosurfactants are amphiphilic molecules that have hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts.
  • The hydrophobic tail is a fluorocarbon and the hydrophilic part is characterized based on charge.\nSurfactants often called as surface-active agents lower the surface tension between a liquid and a gas, or between a liquid and a solid or between two immiscible phases.
  • The lower the surface tension of a coating, the smoother and excellent the finish.\nFluorosurfactant improves pigment and substrate wetting and leveling characteristics and provide high open time.
  • The growing commercial and residential complexes along with growing health consciousness is expected to drive the demand for detergents and cleaning agents.\nThe aforementioned factors, coupled with government support, are contributing to the increasing demand for fluorosurfactant market in the Asia-Pacific during the forecast period.\n'
