NATHAN’S VEHICLE CARE GLOSSARY
Hydrophobic Surface
A hydrophobic surface resists wetting and causes water to form beads or move away more readily.
Hydrophobic Surface at a Glance
- Entity type
- Water-repellent surface property
- Primary purpose
- On vehicles, this behavior can be created by coatings or protectants and can make maintenance easier.
- Important limitation
- Water beading does not prove complete protection or prevent mineral spots when droplets dry on the surface.
