New Repellent Coating

Coating that claims to repel all forms of liquid.

Now, I remember posting about another such coating previously and nothing has come of it. I'm guessing this will end up being just as useful. (i.e. not)

Would be nice to have a coating for firearms that makes the outside effectively rustproof. (I doubt this substance could withstand the temperatures and pressures inside a barrel.

A chromium oxide layer works pretty good, but not everyone likes stainless steel.  There are all sort of coatings these days that work very well.  I have no idea if the put the coatings on all the inside parts.

This does look interesting.  I get the impression it is for walls and such, but I guess it depends on how durable it is.

Hard to use your phone if it is covered in stainless steel.

Makattak mentioned firearms and rust, but yeah, if your gun is sitting on your phone, you might have to use the hands free feature. 

As far as phones go, I didn't notice it was transparent.  May have missed it.  Maybe it would rival transparent aluminum.

Did someone say "transparent aluminum?"
