Deletum 5000
[Update: Looking for the source for Deletum? Look here]
I just read about a new paint called Deletum 5000. It contains nanometer scale silica particles that each have a water repellent and an oil repellent molecule attached to its surface. Normally these molecules repel each other, but the silica holds them together. As the paint dries, these water and oil repelling molecules are forced to the surface. The result is a paint to which nothing sticks. It was developed to foil graffiti. Oil and water based paints won't stick to it. I wonder how barnacles would do...

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
we are a printing industry from Austria. We read an article in the "economist.com" about Deletum 5000 from Mr. Victor Castano. We would appreciate you letting us have a company brochure and some more information about this product. Is it possible to get Deletum 5000 for testing purposes in Europe? Due to the fact that we have printing machines and they get soiled due to the colours we would like to know if it's possible to use Deletum 5000 also in this area.
Looking forward to receiving more information!
Thank you very much!
