There are a few different types of Hydrophobic Coatings used for their water-repellent properties:

Silicone-based coatings: Silicone polymers are very effective for water resistance due to their low surface energy. They are widely used on glass, metal, and stone surfaces.

Fluoropolymer coatings: Fluoropolymers like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) have strong carbon-fluorine bonds that create extremely low surface energy. They are durable for harsh conditions but more expensive than silicones.

Organic/acrylic coatings: These coatings use semi-fluorinated acrylic polymers that are effective and more affordable than fluoropolymers. However, they have shorter lifetimes than silicone or fluoropolymer formulations.
