Aether Glass · Hydrophobic ceramic

Glass that cleans itself

Organic Polysilazane-based ceramic coating that bonds at the molecular level to glass substrates. 9H pencil hardness. Up to 10-year durability. Hydrophobic, oleophobic, ASTM-certified under accelerated weathering protocols. Cuts cleaning frequency dramatically across commercial buildings,solar, marine, and transportation.

The Mechanism

Bonded chemistry, not surface coating.

Aether Glass is polysilazane-based. Once applied and cured, it forms covalent bonds with the glass surface itself, it doesn’t simply sit on top. The result is a ultra-thin film that becomes part of the substrate, with very long durability and minimal optical loss.

01

Hydrophobic + oleophobic.

Water beads up and rolls off carrying soils with it. Oils and fingerprints are easily removed. The surface stays clear under conditions that would streak or stain bare glass.

02

9H pencil hardness.

The cured coating resists fine scratches from sand, debris, and routine cleaning protocols that would gradually degrade bare glass.

03

2,500hr UV certified.

ASTM G154-06 accelerated weathering shows no significant hydrophobic degradation across 2,500+ hours of UVB and condensation cycling — equivalent to roughly two years of Florida sun.

Applications

Where Aether Glass deploys

Anywhere optical clarity, low maintenance, and saltwater or UV resistance are critical. Specified across solar plants, multi-story commercial assets, and demanding marine environments.

Buildings
Multi-story glass
Hospitality glass, curtain walls, and commercial signage. A single application reduces cleaning frequency dramatically and extends substrate life.
Solar
PV panels & CSP mirrors
Maintains optical efficiency in dust- and sand-prone environments. Validated in Australia and the Middle East with Enel Green Power. Reduces cleaning cycles substantially.
Marine
Yacht & vessel glass
Exterior glazing, helm windows, and accommodation glass exposed to saltwater spray and UV. Hydrophobic surface minimizes spotting and wear.
Transit
Rail & signage
Train windows, bus stops, and digital signage glass. Easier cleaning, longer maintenance intervals, less optical degradation across heavy use.
