OPX Ultra-Thin Nano-Coating

OPX is a high-performance fluoropolymer nano-coating that delivers long-lasting, abrasion-resistant protection. Engineered from a blend of PFPE and polysilane, OPX forms a thin, transparent film that chemically bonds to almost any surface—including silica, quartz, glass, metals, and most plastics.

This ultra-thin coating provides excellent durability and is designed for applications where hydrophobic, oleophobic, and abrasion-resistant properties are critical.

Why Choose OPX Nano-Coating?

Traditional conformal coatings often require masking, add weight, and limit design flexibility. In contrast, OPX is so thin it requires no masking and offers exceptional resistance to water, oils, chemicals, and abrasion—making it a cost-effective alternative to conformal coatings for many electronics and optical applications.

Performance Properties of OPX

  • Hydrophobic and Oleophobic – Contact angle >110° (water) and >70° (mineral oil) for superior repellency.

  • Abrasion Resistant – Withstands 5,000+ rubs with steel wool while maintaining protective properties.

  • Anti-Scratch & Anti-Smudge – Ideal for displays, touch panels, lenses, and optical filters.

  • Chemical Resistant – Maintains performance after exposure to IPA, acetone, and other harsh chemicals.

  • Transparent Film – Low refractive index (1.3) preserves clarity for optical applications.

  • Broad Surface Compatibility – Bonds effectively to glass, quartz, metals, plastics, and electronic components.

Applications of OPX Nano-Coating

OPX offers a versatile solution across industries, including:

  • Consumer Electronics – Protects smartphones, tablets, LCDs, and touchscreens from smudges, scratches, and contaminants.

  • Optics – Preserves clarity on lenses, filters, and optical glass while improving scratch resistance.

  • Electronics & PCBs – Shields internal circuits, external cases, and components without masking.

  • Aerospace & Automotive – Provides abrasion-resistant, hydrophobic coatings for critical parts and displays.

Why Use Nano-Coatings for Circuit Boards?

Nano-coatings like OPX provide specialised properties that make them ideal for PCB protection:

  • Ultra-thin—no masking required

  • Hydrophobic (water repellent) and oleophobic (oil repellent)

  • Strong moisture and corrosion resistance

  • High chemical resistance

  • Low friction (high lubricity)

  • Excellent dielectric properties

  • Flexible fluoropolymer chemistry for multiple applications

As a result, OPX Nano-coating delivers cost savings, faster processing, and long-lasting reliability compared to traditional conformal coatings.
