The disclosure relates to an omniphobically coated fluid channel including a channel defining an interior channel surface and a flow volume, and a thermoset omniphobic composition as a coating on the interior channel surface. The thermoset omniphobic composition (such as an omniphobic polyurethane or epoxy composition) includes a thermoset polymer with first, second, and third backbone segments. The first, second, and third backbone segments can correspond to urethane or urea reaction products of polyisocyanate(s), amine-functional omniphobic polymer(s), and polyol(s), respectively, for omniphobic polyurethanes. Similarly, the first, second, and third backbone segments can correspond to urea or beta-hydroxy amine reaction products of polyamine(s), isocyanate-functional omniphobic polymer(s), and polyepoxide(s), respectively, for omniphobic epoxies. The thermoset omniphobic composition coating protects the underlying channel material (such as metal material) from corrosion, and it can further reduce the pressure drop of fluid flowing through the channel. The omniphobically coated fluid channel can be used as a component of a heat transfer apparatus.
