Our optical coating supplier expertise delivers durable, high-performance AF coated glass suitable for prototype development through mass production scaling.
Anti-Fingerprint Coating Overview & Benefits
Anti-fingerprint coating is a precision thin film treatment that applies hydrophobic material onto glass surfaces using advanced vacuum deposition technology. The coating creates a smooth, uniform protective layer that repels fingerprints, water droplets, and oily residues while maintaining optical clarity.
The hydrophobic surface causes water and oils to form spherical droplets with contact angles exceeding 110°, rather than spreading into large wet marks or fingerprint smudges. These droplets easily roll away from the surface, preventing fingerprints, stains, and contamination from adhering permanently. This inherent property keeps anti-fingerprint glass surfaces clean and transparent with minimal maintenance effort.
Customizable AF Coating Thickness for Optimal Performance
Customizable Coating Thickness
AF coating thickness is optimized for specific applications and substrate materials:
- Thin-film coating (0.5–1 μm) – Maximum optical transparency for precision optics; ideal for camera lenses and high-precision instruments
- Standard coating (1–2 μm) – Balanced durability and optical performance for consumer displays and touchscreens
- Robust coating (2–5 μm) – Enhanced durability for industrial and outdoor applications requiring maximum abrasion resistance
Custom coating thickness selection depends on substrate material, intended use environment, and performance requirements. Our engineering team provides recommendations based on application-specific needs.
