Rain-Repellent Fluoroalkyl Silane (C8, Ethoxy) | Manta F1332

Manta F1332 is a fluoroalkyl-functional silane with a highly fluorinated carbon chain, designed to impart liquid repellency and reduce surface energy on inorganic substrates. Once applied, it bonds covalently to the substrate and forms a thin, breathable layer that reduces the adhesion of water, oils, dirt and paints without altering optical clarity or the original appearance.

Its ethoxy groups react with atmospheric moisture and release ethanol rather than methanol, the by-product of Manta F1331, which carries the same fluoroalkyl chain with methoxy groups.

Fluoroalkyl silanes can fall under PFAS rules in a growing number of markets. In the EU, substances of this structure can fall within REACH Annex XVII entry 79 (PFHxA and PFHxA-related substances), which restricts uses including consumer mixtures, textiles and cosmetics. Check the rules for your market and end use before formulating; regulatory status is confirmed by grade at inquiry.

• Masonry protection: active ingredient for invisible anti-graffiti coatings on concrete, natural stone and brickwork
• Automotive glass: rain repellent treatments for windshields and exterior mirrors
• Sanitary ceramics and shower glass: hydrophobic and oleophobic modification that reduces the adhesion of limescale, soap scum and body oils
• Optics and displays: thin anti-fingerprint and anti-smudge coatings on optical lenses, camera covers and touch screens
• Sol-gel systems: surface energy-reducing additive in alcohol-based or water-based sol-gel coatings
