Just make sure you get the color right before you apply this stuff...
In other news, men are painting the inside of there houses with it, just so they have an excuse to tell the wife that they may NOT EVER change the color of the room.

Watched the video, but didn't investigate further. I wonder if the achilles heel WRT metalworking would be temperature limits. I certainly like the idea of a chip pan coated with this, but I wonder if hot chips would quickly ruin its efficacy. In any case, a wonderful and impressive technology.
On further thought... I also wonder if it sticks to itself with a death grip? or... If it is truly "omniphobic," what allows it to adhere to whatever surface you wish to apply it to??

If one is to believe some of the comments, this was the process used for full body swim suits in the recent past and why such suits are not longer allowed.
The price I found here in Canada is about the same as Mr Sleepy posted but there is a 32 oz pair available and for around $35 within reason IMO.
I think what I would use it for would be for exterior walls that are constantly getting covered in graffiti. Maybe something as effective and cheaper for that use though, tends to be a lot of area.
I realize it's not designed specifically as an anti-friction material, but the omniphobic and hygrophobic properties probably also give it that characteristic.
As a coating on hulls it would seem to be about the best thing going, both in terms of slipperiness and prevention of growths. I wonder if they got the idea for this product from fish skin-
I seldom do anything within the scope of logical reason and calculated cost/benefit, etc- I'm following my passion-
From what I have seen it dries to a whiteish powder on the surface. Probably not very resistant to abrasion, I bet it wipes off real easy. I am guessing the bottom coat is something like an adhesive that binds the top coat to the surface when it dries.
The stuff will have no friction reduction characteristics, if anything it would have more friction than an uncoated surface.
Amazing stuff! We're completing a bathroom make-over. This stuff could/maybe go onto every wettable surface and eliminate hours of cleaning time - for the life of the coating anyway. Too bad the ceramic tile is already purchased. I can envision a fine textured wood-grain wall coated with this material. Is it toxic? Can one walk barefoot on it? How about on kitchen counter surfaces? On the surfaces of the stove? I can think of a dozen possible uses for this material. I have some moisture penetration on some basement foundation walls. Could it be applied to the inside and do any good or would I have to dig out the outside of the foundation to apply it? All good questions. Here is where it can be purchased (expensive) and also another video about application, durability, etc.
