OCM™

Non-fluorinated hydrophobic & oleophobic surface modifier that creates a covalent bond that provides exceptional durability on hard & soft surfaces.


Overview

OCM™ is a non-fluorinated surface modifier product that creates an omniphobic coating that repels water and oil on hard and soft surfaces. OCM™ is a water-based chemistry that covalently binds to hard surfaces in an instantaneous reaction to exhibit water & oil repellency. This new chemistry is PFAS/PFOS-free and provides a sustainable replacement without the health, safety, and Environmental hazards of forever chemicals. With cationic character, it can be formulated with quats and non-ionics, mixing well with other shine agents and surface modifiers. OCM™ forms long-lasting bonds (on appropriate surfaces) and requires no special curing before application for surface modification and can produce highly omniphobic surfaces with contact angles as high as 108°, restore shine to the surface, and exhibit excellent lubricity.

Cost / Performance

  • Non-fluorinated sustainable PFAS & PFOS replacement
  • Forms long lasting bonds resulting in fewer applications, thereby saving costs
  • Easy to apply and binds to surfaces with little or no buffing
  • Provides a durable beading effect on modified surfaces
  • Will produce highly hydrophobic surfaces
  • Exhibits oil repellency on many surfaces
  • Can be formulated with other ionic or cationic shine/surface modifiers
  • Excellent lubricity and shine on hard surfaces
  • Restores gloss and shine to surface
  • No VOC s required for surface modification

Package & Handling

  • OCM™ is available in 55 US gal plastic drums (Net wt 441 lbs) and 5 US gal pails (net wt 40 lbs)
  • **Formulating tips : OCM™ is a microemulsion and therefore formulating requires some care.  In general, the best way to formulate with OCM™ is to add water first and then OCM™ to establish that emulsion.  Then add any other ingredients with mixing to finish the formula.  Contact your sales representative if there are any questions
