What is the hyDRoPTM system?
The (HyDRoPTM) system is a patented technology of BFP. It is an innovative protective coating system for glass surfaces.
(HyDRoPTM) effectively combines the properties of both inorganic and organic materials within a multi-functional non-stick (easy-to-clean) invisible coating.
Activation of the surface promotes the development of a large number of free active sites, on which the protective coating is anchored. The latter shares electrons with the substrate and ultimately, a permanent covalent bond (about 230 Kilo-joule per mol) between them is formed. As a result, the coating exhibits an unparallel resistance to chemicals, temperature changes, UV and abrasion.
(HyDRoPTM) is a trademark of BFP Advanced Technologies.

Packaging
SolarSkin FOR SOLAR WATER HEATERS is a non-stick coating system based on latest generation nanotechnology. It consists of two liquid mixtures, which are applied sequentially. The surface should be absolutely clean prior to application.
SolarSkin [1] chemically activates the surface, while SolarSkin [2] is the coating solution. After application, the surface should be buffed with a clean dry cloth to remove traces of excess liquid. It will take about 24 hours for the coating to obtain its maximum strength.
