Liquid repelling (superhydrophobic) technologies have become hugely popular recently, especially in the consumer goods category.
I first learned about NeverWet in mid 2012, when I came across a NeverWet-coated Rubbermaid plunger video.
Rust-Oleum took the NeverWet product public sometime in early/mid 2014, but it’s initial application was a bit more involved and at the time, it didn’t lend itself to being applied to clothes (stinky & stiffened fabrics).
In late 2013, the Silic T-Shirt Kickstarter Campaign raised large-scale awareness of the superhydrophobic apparel category.
More liquid repelling clothing offerings popped up in 2014, and even last month Sofft raised $75,000 for their at-home liquid repelling fabric softener technology.
Interestingly enough, while this “nanotechnology” category has gotten a lot of consumer awareness over the last two years, my friends over at Kleinerts have actually had their water-repelling Fabrapel technology available for over 5 years.
NeverWet is back, and now announcing a series of spray-on liquid repelling solutions for a range of products from regular clothing to industrial applications.
