New Markets and Applications for Liquid Polymeric Material

Deadline: 2014-12-30
Award: 2500

A client is seeking new markets and applications for its liquid polymeric material (odorless, colorless, non-toxic). The material can be applied as formulated liquid, additive, copolymer, or coating. The material has the following unique properties:

• Chemical inertness (no reaction with acids, bases, oxygen, oxidants, radiation)
• Broad working temperature -100 ~ 290°C
• Oil and water repellency (water-proof, protective agents, low surface energy <20mN/m, not mixing with water and oil)
• High gas permeability (breathability, gas carrier)
• Easy to clean (soil and stain release, anti-smudge, anti-stain)
• Non-flammable (no flashpoint, no auto-ignition point)
• Optical medium (UV transparency, low refractive index ~1.3)
• Electromagnetic transparency (from RF to gamma ray)
• Dielectric/insulator (Dielectric Strength 35-40 KV)
• Lubricity
• Possibility to have reactive functionality for integration into coatings/polymers/etc.

The client is looking for applications that might benefit from this material across all manufacturing industries and thus are potential new markets for the client.
