Regarding my needs I am looking for a glass coating agent that makes the glass hydrophobic permanently

Dzień dobry...
With respect, we need to know what you know and not what you don't know. I could answer 99%+ of questions on RG in this manner. Such responses as yours clutter the system and hide real useful answers. I suggest you delete your comment (arrow bottom left of the post) and I will delete mine.
Take a look at: https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_is_spamming_on_this_platform
I would go for this kind of molecule :

a silane with a hydrophobic part.
the "permanently" is more difficult because these kinds of coating can be "fragile".
but you can start your search with "sol gel", "silane", etc... coating.
Bon courage pour ta recherche
je vous remercie pour votre réponse.
In fact, I work on plant science (roots more specifically) I cultivate plants on glass boxes and i scan them to obtain root images. These boxes are irrigated permanently which causes the flow of the chemicals contained in the glass. The roots are very sensitive to these chemical compounds, it causes necrosis and cell death, that's why I am looking for some permanent agents that can not be washed by the water flow and make the glass hydrophobic.
If you're not chemist it might be difficult to apply these concept maybe it could be easier to contact companies that does that ?(https://fluorotechnique.fr/en/coatings/ or https://liquidguard.de/ for example )
hope it helps
