Today, Taili Technology officially launched its independently developed "High-Performance Superhydrophobic Anti-Icing Coating Technology" at the "Multi-Sector Safety Science and Technology Achievement Release Conference." Based on fluorosilicone material modification, this technology constructs a low-surface-energy micro-nano structure, reducing ice adhesion strength to 1/50 of traditional coatings and successfully solving the long-standing high-altitude icing safety hazard in the aerospace field. Currently, the technology has passed ground simulation tests for a regional jet model of COMAC and is expected to undergo its first flight verification in the second half of 2026, marking a major breakthrough in China's field of active anti-icing materials for aircraft. According to the project's technical lead, when aircraft fly in high-altitude, low-temperature, and high-humidity environments, components such as wings and engine inlets are highly prone to icing. Ice layers alter the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft, increase weight, and in severe cases, can lead to stall or even crash. Traditional anti-icing methods mostly rely on electric heating or hot air de-icing, which are energy-intensive and have lagging effects. The newly released superhydrophobic fluorosilicone coating innovatively utilizes the low surface energy characteristics of fluorosilicone materials to construct a nanoscale rough structure on the material surface, preventing water droplets from adhering and causing them to roll off quickly, thereby suppressing icing risks at the source. Experimental data shows that the coating maintains superhydrophobic performance (contact angle >150°) even in extreme environments of -40°C and 90% relative humidity, with a scouring resistance of over 100,000 cycles, far exceeding international aerospace material standards (>50,000 cycles). In addition, the coating also features excellent high/low temperature resistance (-60°C to 250°C) and UV aging resistance, making it suitable for long-term application on aircraft wings, spacecraft solar panels, and other icing-prone components. Taili Technology stated that this technology will be expanded to civilian fields such as wind turbine blades and high-speed railway contact networks in the future, with the market size expected to exceed 1 billion yuan by 2027, providing a "Chinese solution" for equipment safety in extreme environments worldwide.
