EXOCOAT SH (Development Product)

Superhydrophobic Sol-Gel system for Breathable Concrete and

Masonry Sealers

Axcentive® has developed a sol-gel-technology with extremely high water exclusion properties to

produce superhydrophobic coatings.

EXOCOAT® in Coatings

The EXOCOAT range of raw materials for coatings is specifically developed for smart and functional

coatings, to obtain functions like easy to clean, superhydrophobic, superhydrophilic, anticorrosive, heat

reflective, anti-microbial, anti-fogging and self-cleaning. The technology developed comprises advanced

inorganic and hybrid sol-gel-technology, organometallic polymers and nano materials for solvent and

water based systems.

EXOCOAT SH

EXOCOAT SH is a unique 1K superhydrophobic sol-gel system that can be applied on concrete,

pavement, wall and stucco to get the so called Lotus Effect. The sol-gel system deposits as

superhydrophobic particles on the porous substrate. It will not form a film and as a result the wall stays

breathable. With the contact angle of 145o water droplets bounce back from the surface and will roll

down immediately upon touch. As a result the wall remains dry, clean and will behave as efficient

barrier against water.
