Abstract

The approach to the production of nontransparent superhydrophobic coatings on large surfaces, which are produced by one-step coating process using conventional equipment for the paint and coatings industry, was developed. The surface of the coatings was statistically organized by the use of micro- and nanoscale fillers through introduction of appropriate dimensions. This allows achieving superior superhydrophobic properties of the material: a water contact angle (WCA) 160°, a water contact angle hysteresis (CAH)—not more than 4°—and a water sliding angle (WSA), not more than 2°. Such coatings possess high resistance to cracking and abrasion. This approach can be used for the creation of protective water-repellent coatings in construction industry.
