Fog and dirt on surfaces needing to stay clean is a major issue across industries, driving a billion-dollar market for innovative, sustainable and cost-effective solutions. For example, modern cars already rely on 15-20 cameras for driver safety and surgeons on clear visibility in operations – it’s super critical that cameras and sensors remain clean in all conditions.

Sonofog is on a mission to create world’s first extremely fog repellent surfaces. We have created a unique surface material that offer extreme repellence of fog, water, ice and dirt. It can be either built into existing products or added later as a separate film. It can also be used as "on demand" removal if a surface has fog or ice on it. It is 200X faster than current solutions, leaves no water/ice on the surface, works with all drop sizes and is superior in anti-icing needs.
