Selfacecoat “VSR-40” is a hydrophilic coating agent that has achieved unprecedented long-term hydrophilic performance.
VSR-40W is a water-based concentrated fluid for Export. It dilutes with alcohol before use at local.
Good point for VSR-40
- Can be introduced at low cost and equipment costs. (recommended application method: dipping)
- Secure superiority over other companies with next-generation hydrophilic function.
- Improved customer satisfaction due to long-term durability effects.
Applicable products | Purpose | Anticipated efficacy | Merit |
Aluminum fin Heat exchanger | Improved heat exchange rate | •Improved drying speed of condensed water | •Reduced amount of electricity used •Energy saving effect (SDGs No.7) |
Dirt removal performance | • Dirt washes off due to condensation water •Prevention of bacterial growth due to antibacterial effect | • Improved maintainability • Reduced cleaning frequency •Elimination of risk of damage during cleaning •Mold control | |
Prevents water droplets from scattering | •Prevention of scattering due to water droplet disappearance | • Complaint resolution due to splashing water droplets |
High energy saving effect | Water splash prevention | Prevention of the growth of mold and bacteria, clean space |
Depending on the usage environment, the air flow path may be blocked by water droplets generated or attached between the fins. However, by applying a hydrophilic coating using VSR-40, sufficient air flow is ensured through the gaps between the fins, and energy-saving effects and reductions in electricity bills can be expected by improving heat exchange efficiency. | Eliminates the problem of water splashing from the outlet by preventing water droplets from forming and adhering. It also makes it easier to design water recovery mechanisms. | The long-lasting self-cleaning effect prevents the growth of mold and bacteria inside the heat exchanger. It also prevents dust from accumulating, keeping the room clean. |
Performance test (Persistence, Corrosivity)
We have successfully developed "Selfacecoat VSR-40" which can exhibit super hydrophilic properties over a long period of time.
The durability of hydrophilic properties treated for aluminum material has been dramatically improved.
