Hydrophobic sand (HS) is ordinary beach sand coated with tiny particles of pure silica, which have been exposed to a …</Subscript>SiOH. The additive creates a capillary breaking hydrophobic encapsulation of the sand making it resistant to salts …, particularly sodium chloride salts. This can be serving as a pure water repellent material. The use of this hydrophobic layer in …
