The Official Ultra-Ever Dry Product Video - Superhydrophobic and oleophobic coating
53 replies, posted
I have a table sheet (?) that has been coated with a similar substance. It's amazing. I had guests over at new year's eve, and someone accidentally knocked over a glass during dinner. Their reactions were hilarious when they noticed the fluid collected into a single puddle and left no stain when I wiped it up.
Problem is, then everyone started dropping shit on the table just to see how the cloth reacted to it.
Edit: The sheet was dirt cheap too. The only reason that everdry stuff is so expensive is because it's New!(tm) and people expect it to be expensive. All it is is just some kind of extract from a lotus flower that depends more on the structure than the actual chemical composition.

You should've got them a straw.

Well for us Canadians, even an undercarriage job would be nice. Helps keep all the snow mixed with road salt off the bottom of the car.
What if you sprayed it on water? Or in a shallow glass and then filled the glass with water?
Or every filled the glass with half of this stuff, half water? Will the water fucking bounce or is gravity a bitch?

Use Rain X instead

The chemical itself isn't water resistant, it's the structure in which it's applied that makes it water resistant. It makes the surface very lumpy on a 'nano' scale (it still feels smooth to the touch), and because of this lumpyness, the amount of surface explosed to the liquid is smaller than the strength of the surface tension of the liquid, so the liquid stays in droplet form rather than sticking to the surface.
Water resistant is actually a bad way to call it. the treated surface still makes contact to the liquid, the liquid just doesn't stick to it.

Now I can coat my pubes in this stuff and not worry about getting jizz all over my mound!
Thanks Ever dry!

What if you treated... the windshield wipers?
Or your tires. I wonder what that'd do.

that wouldn't happen

i bet it would wear off the tires pretty quickly. and applying it on wipers wouldn't help much
What if you coated a waterslide and yourself with this and then went down it? Would you be wet at the end?

Yes, but you'll probably lose consciousness and drown.
Shit likes this makes me think, we truly are living in the future.
Imagine coating highways with this stuff. Water would literally flow right off of the road which means it would save a lot of hydroplaning accidents.
Reminds me of that ketchup-bottle crap they invented not too long ago, where it all flows out smoothly.
Practical usage of this is pretty damn great. Not only is it good for avoiding water, but water/liquid flowing on it provides a basically frictionless surface and gives quicker delivery(I.E. the cement mixer example). Would really be great for business/industrial usage.
Wonder what would happen if you ate/drank this stuff.

You would probably become very sick or die.

I'll still like to know how durable it is.
A small rock chipping a hole in the coating, and things go bad damn fast during a winter with lots of salt on the roads.

It's shit for windshields.
Good enough for motorcycle helmet visors though

That'd be cool but probably wouldn't work. I can imagine 2 ton cars driving fast and huge 18-wheelers driving would make it wear off very quick especially when cars use their brakes and shit.
Just imagine coating the bottom and propeller of a speedboat with this.
There's a fuckton of applications it can be used for, but the price will decide what it really gets used for.
[QUOTE=Bredirish123;39581901]Imagine coating highways with this stuff. Water would literally flow right off of the road which means it would save a lot of hydroplaning accidents.[/QUOTE] That would be a massive area to cover, and the repetitive forces of tires rolling over the same paths would surely wear down the material. The coating would highly benefit the roads long-term health because it would prevent water from creeping in and freezing which destroys the bonds that holds the road together, creating cracks and holes. [video=youtube;xP3-W546HYs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP3-W546HYs[/video]
Perhaps a better idea would be to fill forming cracks in roads and buildings with this material to prevent more water from entering and continuing the destruction of the structure.
