While lotuses have existed for millions of years, researchers have only been creating and studying synthetic superhydrophobic coatings for the last 30 years. In most representative examples, the coatings replicate the superhydrophobic effect using a combination of low surface-energy materials and laboratory-controlled application techniques. While many examples of superhydrophobic coatings exist in the academic literature, from the consumer's perspective, the concept was still a laboratory oddity until recently.

After a successful launch last year in the US, Rust-Oleum is thrilled to be introducing NeverWet™, a unique multi-surface liquid repelling treatment, to the UK. Rust-Oleum NeverWet™ contains breakthrough technology that protects surfaces with a superhydrophobic coating that repels water, mud, ice and other liquids. This revolutionary product causes liquids to shoot off protected surfaces, keeping items clean and dry. It also guards virtually any surface against corrosion and wear caused by exposure to moisture. Sun exposure and other environmental conditions impact the longevity of our coatings. Abrasion can also threaten its efficacy. On average, items in outdoor conditions will maintain water-repellency for 6 months; indoor items will maintain repellency for about one year.
