This novel technology platform has been commercialized as SLIPS® Repel for industrial applications, and as SLIPS® Zero for consumer packaging applications. Due to their 100% liquid surfaces, these SLIPS® coatings provide unparalleled performance. They have better non-stick properties than Teflon® and are more robust than superhydrophobic surfaces.

SLIPS

Slips® Zero™ allow the complete emptying of plastic food containers, using entirely food-safe materials. This technology enables packaging designers to take advantage of distinctive new shapes and formats to differentiate their brand. These shapes may have previously been impossible, due to residual product sticking inside the package.

SLIPS® Zero™

SLIPS® Repel™ is an innovative, nanotextured coating that can be applied to almost any liquid containing vessel. If required, AST can also customize the proprietary liquid layer technology to target particularly challenging fluids. Designed for large industrial liquid containers, SLIPS® Repel™ coatings feature a liquid layer that allows sticky fluids (e.g. paints, liquid adhesives, lotions) to easily flow through production systems with virtually no residue left behind. This significantly reduces downtime caused by cleaning processes and product changeovers, creating increased throughput and production uptime, while minimizing cleaning chemicals and wastewater.

SLIPS® Repel™

Slips® Dolphin™ when submerged in water, this innovative paint creates an ultra-smooth, slippery surface that organisms can’t attach to. The paint lasts multiple seasons, so you don’t have to worry about painting your boat every year. And unlike most existing products on the market today, SLIPS® Dolphin™ Bottom Paint doesn’t contain any biocides and is environmentally friendly.

SLIPS® Dolphin™

Slips® Foul Protect™ is a barnacles, mussels, and micro-organisms that stick to boat hulls is an ongoing and costly nuisance for commercial and recreational boaters. Any buildup of biofouling leads to increased drag, greater fuel costs, and higher maintenance costs. To address this persistent biofouling problem, AST has developed proprietary surface-active polymers that can significantly improve the biofouling performance of marine hull paints. Our modular additive design works in multiple binder systems, with or without an active biocide. These high-performance additives will enable commercial foul-release coatings to continue to displace conventional copper anti-fouling coatings—reducing operational costs through fuel savings and reducing the overall carbon footprint of commercial shipping.

SLIPS® Foul Protect™

Slips® SeaClear™ tackles the persistent problem of biofouling. However, the coating is transparent, and is perfect for submerged cameras, lighting, windows, and other sensors that require a clear coating. SLIPS® Sea Clear® is a two-component coating that cures after mixing and applying. It is available for purchase directly from AST in quart or gallon quantities.
