Tech Info / HIREC® Shows High Durability in Temperature with Humidity Cycle Test
HIREC®: Super Hydrophobic Coating for Antenna, Radome and Other Public Infrastructure
Temperature with Humidity Cycle Test
The change of the contact angle of a HIREC® coated surface was measured in Temperature with Humidity Cycle Test. The test was done for temperature range from -30°C to 70°C, humidity up to 90% R.H., 12 hours/cycle, and 100 cycles. The test result showed the HIREC® has a stable performance in the temperature with humidity cycle test and has high durability.
