lipophobic

Adjective

This term is primarily used in technical, scientific, and industrial contexts, specifically within chemistry and materials science. It describes a surface or substance that actively repels fats and oils, creating a barrier that prevents lipid-based contaminants from sticking.

In practical application, it is often contrasted with lipophilic (fat-attracting) or oleophilic substances. While it shares a similar functional outcome to hydrophobic (water-repelling) materials, lipophobic specifically targets the non-polar nature of lipids, making it essential for developing smudge-resistant screens or oil-proof textiles.
