Anti-fingerprint technologies

In addition AF coating allows easy removal of dirt from the glass surface.

Two technologies for anti-fingerprint coatings deposition were developed:

• liquid evaporation




• GIT® technology



 

AF coating deposition could be combined with AR coatings deposition in one cycle (AR+AF coating).

Coating machine that combine liquid evaporation technology with PECVD technology is presented below. 

Another technology that is developed for anti-fingerprint coatings deposition is GIT®.

GIT®  is a new IZOVAC created technology that is used for AF coatings mass production.

GIT®   machine for AF coatings is represented below.

Advantages of AF coating:

• Long-term durability in resisting chemical and mechanical wear




• Repellent to fingerprints and water




• Easy-to-clean with a dry soft cloth




• Water contact angle > 110°




• Combination with anti-reflective coating





 

AF coating application

The multifunctional AR+AF coating is well suited for use in surface protection of optical glass from contamination, wear-resistant coatings for smartphones, industrial displays, touch screens,  architectural glass, gaming and public displays, etc.

Difference between uncoated and coated with AF coatings glass is shown on this video.
