Hydrophobic

Hydrophobic is the physical property in which a molecule will repel water.  One property of a these types of molecules is it tends to be non-polar.  With plasma treatments, you can increase the water resistant tendencies of materials.  You can also decrease these tendencies to make a material hydrophilic.  These desired effects can be achieved through the use of one of our low pressure plasma systems.
