To provide a method to treat an article and more specifically an aircraft surface in order to prevent icing and to provide a coating that emits very low volatile organic compounds (VOC) during application and setting. Icing on critical aircraft surfaces creates dangerous conditions which impair the stability of the aircraft. The specific areas are referred to as 'cold-soak' conditions and some areas on the 'leading edges' of the wings. The present invention eliminates icing on these surfaces. Environmental icing due to weather is a related problem, but is not the direct problem concerning the present invention. Ice will not form on the surface of certain polymer coatings with low surface energy such as TeflonTM. This is a consequence of the high contact angle between the water droplet and the surface that establishes a non-wetting surface. The objective of the present invention is to implement such coatings and a deposition process. Effective implementation will also result in a coating formulation and deposition process. The coating of the present invention may be used for other objects such as automobiles, consumer products, such as refrigerators, stoves, etc.
