Hygrophobic refers to the property of a substance that repels water or has a low affinity for water. Materials that are hygrophobic do not easily absorb moisture, often leading to water beading on their surface. This characteristic is commonly found in substances like oils and waxes, which are used in various applications to create water-resistant surfaces. In contrast, hydrophilic substances attract and absorb water.
