The lotus leaf effect and self-cleaning ability of the resin tile

Resin tile is a common building material, and its unique lotus leaf effect gives it excellent self-cleaning ability. The lotus leaf effect is inspired by the microstructure of the surface of the lotus leaf in nature. These tiny concave and convex drops make the water droplets present a highly spherical shape on the surface. With a gentle roll, the water droplets can take away dust and dirt and keep the surface clean.

The resin tile achieves a similar self-cleaning mechanism by mimicking the microstructural design on the surface of the lotus leaf. The small undulations of the surface can reduce the contact area of the water droplets with the surface, making it easier for the water droplets to roll and take away the attached dust and dirt. This special surface structure allows rainwater to effectively clean the surface of the resin tiles, reducing the frequency and cost of manual cleaning.

Because the resin tile has a good self-cleaning ability, it has been widely used in building materials. Whether it is the roof, wall or other outdoor components, the resin tile can be selected as the materials, thus reducing the maintenance cost and extending the service life of the building. At the same time, this self-cleaning ability also meets the requirements of environmental protection and energy saving in modern society, making the resin tile become an ideal green building materials.
