Cbayerz89 0 Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Advice on the best material/method to prevent condensation on plastic/glass at the lowest possible cost. New venture I'm looking at currently a refrigeration engineer. Any useful help will be rewarded in equity in the buisness if it develops to a production standard.

No. I was actually thinking the same at first, but was reading that hydrophilic surfaces can counterintuitively create a thin layer of water that limits additional condensation. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can do a lot with a little. I am curious what OP needs this for. What role glass or plastic plays in the system. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
