Wettable Silicone Surfaces
n-Wet converts standard
silicone elastomers into highly wettable
silicones simply by incorporation into the
pre-cured elastomer.Microfluidics: No pumping! No Bubbles
Fluid migration by capillary forces alone through
a 16 x 7 μm microchannel.

EnRoute Interfaces is a supplier of silicone surface solutions. We provide microfluidic device makers with our proprietary hydrophilic modification solutions and products (n-Wet series) that create highly wettable, very low fouling channels and surfaces. There is no need to change your device design or your choice of materials. Unlike other hydrophilic modification methods, our hydrophilic surface solution is a one-step simple and easy process that leads to long-term stable, wettable interfaces.
We work with customers to create innovative silicone surface solutions and new silicone-based materials that improve device performance and functionality.
With full access to the state-of-art facilities of Biointerfaces Institute of McMaster University and The Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy (CCEM), we provide a wide range of surface analysis services.
We continually advance our platforms and processes for the technologies to transform standard silicone into highly hydrophilic and surface-active silicones to meet the requirements of your devices.
We look forward to working with you to create a surface wettability solution that meets your device needs. Contact us today to discuss your requirements:
