It's unbelievably water-repellent. That's why it's called a super-water-repellent material.
However, this material goes beyond mere water repellence and shows other interesting effects.

What would happen if the bottom of a ship is made super-water-repellent?
What if two super-water-repellent surfaces come into contact in water?
Watch this video to see some unexpected effects shown by our super-water-repellent materials.
