FendX is taking the approach of developing surface coatings that repel germs, preventing them growing on the surface coating and significantly reducing their spread. Inspired by water-resistant lotus leaves, FendX’s nanotechnology is textured with nanoscopic wrinkles that repel water, blood, viruses and bacteria. Their surface coatings in development provide instant and continuous protection that does not promote antimicrobial resistance. High surface tension and low surface tension liquids like water and oil form droplets when they come into contact with the surface coating.
