Has anyone tried dry water?
Posted by OldPerry on February 4, 2015 at 6:43 pmThis technology looks pretty interesting.
Maybe it could replace surfactants.MichelleReece replied 9 years, 8 months ago 7 Members · 6 Replies -

Hey Perry,
sorry for my newbie-questions.
I looked your video and find it super interesting.
But when I think about dry water, powdery water comes into my mind. The formula, where water is dispersed in really small droplets to be ‘encapsulated’ in silica.
When i search dry water in google i can also just find this version.But I also found a related video about ‘super hydrophobic coating’, which could have been covering the finger that had been put in the water in the video.

I would like to think about if it could be an alternative for surfactants, but as I am not sure what this technic is about I wanted to ask you if you have a link to read something about the technic you wanted to discuss?
Thank you!

Oh yeah sure I have tried it. First trip across Lagos lagoon in my speedboat. Ran aground. A fishing family came past in a log canoe. The old guy chuckled at my predicament and said in Pidgin English, “Dry Water!”

That would be the best occlusive for dry skin ever.
But how the heck would you get it in a cream?
