The only water-based material
3 Features of Super hydrophobic Material HIREC 300 W
Water contact angle of 150 degrees or more
The HIREC series of ultra- hydrophobic materials boasts ultra- hydrophobic performance, with an initial contact angle of water of more than 150 degrees, making it difficult to keep water droplets on the painted surface.

Water-based, so friendly to people and the environment
Since it contains almost no volatile organic compounds (VOC), it is not subject to the Organic Solvent Poisoning Prevention Rules, so contractors can use it with confidence. It can be diluted with water and does not require thinner.
Non-hazardous materials make it easy to transport and store.
Because they are non-hazardous materials without flash points, they are not subject to restrictions on storing hazardous materials under the Fire Service Act or restrictions on transporting hazardous materials under the Civil Aeronautics Act, making handling them easier. In particular, we can significantly reduce shipping costs overseas.

The HIREC series is effective not only in water splashing but also in preventing ice and snow accretion, and is used in a wide range of fields, including antennas and radars, bridges and pylons, wind power generation, and railways.
Because HIREC-R uses VOCs, there are restrictions on its handling during air transport, storage, etc. as it is an organic solvent and a hazardous material, and the cost of transporting it overseas may be high.
NTT Advanced Technology Corporation's (NTT-AT) Super hydrophobic material HIRECcontributes to the maintenance of customers' various facilities by preventing ice and snow accretion, preventing snow and ice from falling, and ensuring insulation.
