Anti-Finger Print (AFP) – Anti-Bacterial Coatings
 
Many materials with polished surface finish (metalized plastics, wood, inox (stainless steel), etc.) are prone to staining with fingerprint oils. Once marked with such stains they lose most of their visual appeal. Fingerprints result from sweat that is transferred to the material surface and are molded by friction ridges on
 fingers. Most commercially available anti-fingerprint coatings are based on fluorinated compounds due to their oleophobic characters that help repelling oily compounds. However, despite their practical AFP utility, most fluorinated compounds pose environmental and health hazards.



BYC United offers a novel coating solution with comparable AFP characteristics but is completely free from fluorine and its compounds. If desired, the coated surfaces can be tailored with increased roughness to physically avoid finger contact in the first place. AFP films produced thereby are rated up to 3N when Erichsen 318 test pencil is used to test scratch resistance. The adhesive strength of coating satisfies the 5B rating in the ASTM D 3359 standard. Finally the coatings can withstand chemical attack by acids/bases within the pH range 2-12.
