Army researchers have developed a no-stick, no-stain, no-stink coating thatcould all but eliminate the need for soldiers to wash their uniforms - andit's going commercial before it goes on your ACU.
The omniphobic coating - "that means it hates everything," lead Armyresearcher Quoc Truong said in an Army news release - is being marketed byUltraTech International Inc. alongside Luna Innovations, a partner of theArmy's Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center, underthe brand name Ultra-Ever Shield.
Possible commercial uses include coating everything from rain gear todiapers to paper currency. An UltraTech-produced video shows the coatingfighting off food stains like ketchup and chocolate syrup, leaving a whiteswatch of fabric without so much as a mark.
