Ketchup stuck in the bottle ??? LiquiGlide™ is fundamentally changing the way people and industries move liquids.

We have all been frustrated with the ketchup bottle at one point or another. While many have their own solution, such as hitting the 57 on the bottle,  LiquiGlide has come up with a permanently wet surface that will get rid of this problem forever for mankind.

LiquiGlide™ is fundamentally changing the way people and industries move liquids. LiquiGlide’s permanently wet surfaces eliminate the “no-slip” boundary condition that causes viscous liquids to stick to solids.

Invented at MIT, LiquiGlide’s patented technology platform is built on a fundamental model of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. Our team of experts are constantly advancing the technology and building on our proprietary algorithm.  

LiquiGlide’s coatings are custom designed to be hyper slippery and permanently wet, using materials that are safe for each specific application. Our coatings are also self-healing, such that the liquid will naturally fill and cover any scratches that are made in the surface.

A conventional superhydrophobic surface is like a lotus leaf; it is a highly textured surface which creates a cushion of air for the product to sit on. Over time, superhydrophobic surfaces break down and are no longer slippery. They are also typically made of exotic materials that are not safe for food applications.

LiquiGlide™ is a multi-layer, liquid-impregnated surface, consisting of a customized solid texture and a liquid. The highly textured solid surface is composed of a matrix of features spaced sufficiently close to stably contain the impregnating liquid that fills in the spaces between the features. The liquid is held in place within the texture, creating a slippery, liquid surface. Over time, the surface continues to be slippery because the liquid is permanently held in place within the textures.
