The lotus leaf effect and self-cleaning ability of synthetic resin roof tiles

Synthetic resin roof tiles are a common building material. Synthetic resin roof tiles achieve a self-cleaning mechanism by imitating the microstructure design on the surface of lotus leaves. The slight undulations on the product surface can reduce the contact area between water droplets and the surface, making it easier for water droplets to roll and carry away the adhering dust and dirt. This special surface structure enables rainwater to effectively clean the surface of resin tiles, reducing the frequency and cost of manual cleaning.

Due to the excellent self-cleaning ability of synthetic resin roof tiles, they have been widely used in building materials. Whether it is the roof, walls, or other outdoor components, resin tiles can be chosen as the material, thereby reducing maintenance costs and extending the service life of the buildings. Meanwhile, this self-cleaning ability also meets the modern society’s requirements for environmental protection and energy conservation, making resin tiles an ideal green building material.
