NEI’s Anti-fog coatings implement both scratch resistance and anti-fog properties to surfaces. The novel coating technology is based on NEI’s patented scratch-resistant, transparent coating, commercially known as NANOMYTE® SR-100. This base coating formulation has been modified with unique amphiphilic compounds which are locked into the coating matrix, creating a three-dimensionally networked molecular composite. The result is a high degree of mechanical durability, allowing the anti-fog properties to be retained, even after repeated washings with soap and water.
NEI’s anti-fog coatings come in two formulations:

NANOMYTE® SAF-100 is an optical grade, anti-fog coating with excellent abrasion and water resistance. The novel coating passes EN 168 (Personal eye-protection. Non-optical test methods) for Mist Retardant Anti-fog Coatings and also exhibits anti-frost properties. The coating is thermally cured, and can be dip coated, flow coated, or spray coated. The 2-part liquid coating is sold in ready-to-mix, liter and gallon kit quantities.
*Shorter cure times / reduced temperatures may also be used depending on surface properties & performance requirements. Test samples for desired performance when deviating from recommendations.
Coating application should be performed in a clean environment to minimize surface defects. Ensure surfaces to be coated are clean and dry and apply a primer if necessary (such as polymer substrates). NEI supplies a primer product, NANOMYTE® SR-Primer, which works well with a range of plastics.
To make the coating solution, combine SAF-100 Part A and Part B at a 10:1 weight ratio and mix well by stirring briefly. The coating may be applied by spraying, dipping, or flowing. Although the mixed coating solution is stable indefinitely, it is recommended to use the solution within 72 hours after mixing for the best performance. The coating may be applied by spraying, dipping, or flowing and is thermally cured at elevated temperatures.
For complete specifications and application instructions, please refer to the Technical Data Sheet.
Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used at all times. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Provide good ventilation or extraction and avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor. Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.

NANOMYTE® SAF-200 is a fast-cure, anti-fog coating with excellent scratch-resistant properties. The coating can be cured in 2 to 5 minutes at a temperature range of 80 – 120 °C. The 2-part liquid coating is sold in ready-to-mix, liter and gallon kit quantities, and is amenable to spray, dip, flow, roll, and gravure coating processes.

NEI can only sell to other businesses (not for personal use). Unfortunately, we are unable to provide free samples.
NANOMYTE® Anti-fog, multi-component coatings are provided as ready-to-mix kits, in liter and gallon quantities. For example, a purchase for 1 liter of coating will include the appropriate weight ratio of all components needed to mix and create 1L of that coating.
Additionally, NEI offers in-house coating services for customer’s parts, as well as coating development services, wherein coating formulations are customized to address specific customer requirements.
