Hydrophilic Coating
Hydrophilic Coating
(OP)
I am trying to find a commercially available hydrophilic coating, such that when a drop of water is placed on the DRY surface treated with this coating that it immediately spreads out to form a very thin layer. Other less important requirements is some resistance against mild abrasion and organic solvents.
Can anyone advise? Thank you.

What I have seen that works with solvent-based fluids is a spinning stage that uses the centrifugal effect to drag the fluid across a surface. Uniformity on the order of a few percent are possible. Looks for semiconductor photoresist application machinery.
Alternately, you might be able dunk the surface and withdraw it at a fixed rate.
