Amid global heatwaves, demand for UV-resistant outdoor products has surged. Chinese material companies recently launched nanosized polysilazane-based coatings for tents, sun-protective clothing, and gear. These coatings offer superior heat resistance (up to 400°C) and block 99.8% of UV radiation while being eco-friendly, replacing polluting fluoropolymer alternatives. A leading sportswear brand has adopted the technology for its Paris Olympics collaboration line, reducing fabric weight by 30%. Industry analysts predict polysilazane’s expansion into flexible electronics encapsulation, with the market projected to exceed ¥1.5 billion ($210 million) by 2024.
