The Vitolane^TM technology platform enables the tailoring of silsesquioxanes so that they influence the hydrophilic properties of the compositions into which they are incorporated, such as a coatings or bulk plastics.

Silsesquioxane (ladder) with hydrophilic ligand

There are numerous application areas that demand hydrophilic properties such as bathroom and kitchen paints, spectacles, goggles and visors, contact lenses, mirrors and interior surfaces of glazing.

The versatility of Vitolane^TM technology enables the incorporation of multiple R groups that will improve hydrophilic characteristics as well as improving durability.
