A material that is resistant or highly resistant to condensation

[Cbayerz89]

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.

Dessicated air ?

Maybe a hydrophilic coating?

Better insulation ?

[Phi for All]

Remove the need for the plastic or glass?

Are you sure you don't mean hydrophobic?

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.

Sounds interesting, have you got a reference thanks ?

Welcome. Sorry couldn't post more last night. Having internet issues. Do find it interesting for sure. Can do a lot with a little.

I am curious what OP needs this for.  What role glass or plastic plays in the system.
