Figure 1 (Clegg)
The Figure on the left has bubbles in it, see. The one on the right we can assume has
been treated with LiquiGlide.
In the case of beer, bubbles that form on the surface of the container will gradually kill its fizz.
By impregnating its every hole the shelf life of not just beer but all carbonated drinks can be
extended. The Figure on the right has been coated and is super pregnant (Smith, Jonathan).
Although LiquiGlide will not be sold by itself, products that use it will be sold Soon. A
potential customer is paint companies, according to India Energy News (LiquiGlide Coating).
There is a lot of waste and danger in painting. Within a year, people will no longer have paint
that dries in the container or unexpectedly on nearby equipment. It will also last longer, as
mentioned above. All in all, paint usage will become more efficient, resulting in less paint loss
and pollution.
Last month, LiquiGlide Inc. received a 7 million dollar funding from Roadmap Capital,
an investment company. They have since moved into a new laboratory and hope to launch a
commercial enterprise from there (LiquiGlide Announces). In the past, they have also won
100k for getting 2nd place at MITs Entrepreneurship Competition.
