What is Anti-Fingerprint(AF) Glass?

Anti-fingerprint (AF) glass, also known as oleophobic glass, is a type of glass specifically designed to resist fingerprints and smudges. It is a coating applied to the surface of the glass that repels oils and prevents the adhesion of fingerprints.

AF glass (Anti-Fingerprint Glass) is a type of glass with a special coating on its surface that effectively prevents fingerprints and smudges from adhering while being easy to clean. This coating typically consists of a combination of hydrophobic and oleophobic materials, forming a protective layer that reduces the adherence of fingerprints and dirt.

Applications of AF Glass

AF Glass Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process of Anti-Fingerprint (AF) glass involves several steps to apply the specialized coating that provides the fingerprint and smudge resistance.

The manufacturing process of AF glass mainly includes the following steps:

Cleaning

The finished glass cover needs to undergo thorough cleaning before coating to remove dust, grease, and other impurities. This step usually employs ultrasonic cleaning methods.

Coating

Through spraying or dipping technology, a uniform anti-fingerprint coating is applied to the glass surface. The coating materials are typically hydrophobic and oleophobic chemicals that reduce the adherence of fingerprints and smudges.

Curing

After coating, the layers need to be cured to enhance adhesion and durability. Curing is usually done in a high-temperature furnace, with the temperature and time adjusted according to the coating materials and thickness.

Inspection

After curing, the AF glass undergoes comprehensive quality inspection, including coating uniformity, anti-fingerprint effectiveness, abrasion resistance, and other indicators, to ensure each piece meets design requirements.

Packaging

The finished AF glass is cleaned and dried, then packaged in a dust-proof manner to ensure it remains uncontaminated and undamaged during transportation and storage.

AF GLASS Acceptance Standards

Our AF glass must pass strict acceptance standards before leaving the factory, including:

Water Contact Angle Test: Using a water contact angle tester, a water contact angle of 110° or above is considered qualified.
Abrasion Resistance Test: Using an abrasion tester with a 500g weight, 2×2 rubbing head, and 40 speed, back and forth as one cycle, tested for 3000 cycles. A decay value of less than 15% is considered qualified.

Key Considerations for Purchasing AF Glass

When purchasing Anti-Fingerprint (AF) glass, there are several key considerations to keep in mind to ensure you choose the right product for your specific needs.

Coating Quality

Anti-Fingerprint Effectiveness: The glass surface should have excellent hydrophobic and oleophobic properties to effectively prevent fingerprints and smudges.
Durability: The coating should be highly durable and resistant to abrasion and corrosion, capable of withstanding daily wear and exposure to chemicals.
Uniform Coating: The coating should be evenly distributed to avoid areas with subpar performance.

Light Transmission

High Light Transmission: AF glass should have a high light transmission rate, typically over 90%, to ensure that the display clarity and brightness are not compromised.

Surface Hardness

Scratch Resistance: The glass surface should have high hardness, capable of resisting scratches and wear from daily use, usually measured using the Mohs hardness scale.

Ease of Cleaning

Easy to Clean: The surface should allow for easy removal of stains and smudges, maintaining the glass’s transparency and appearance.

Size and Thickness

Custom Sizes: Choose the appropriate size and thickness of the glass based on application needs to ensure a perfect fit for the device.
Precision Processing: The dimensions and thickness of the processed glass should meet the client’s strict requirements, with minimal tolerance.

Production Capacity and Lead Time

Production Capacity: The supplier should have a stable production capacity to meet large volume orders.
Lead Time: Understand the supplier’s production and delivery schedule to ensure timely receipt of products, preventing project delays.

Supplier Reputation and Service

Reputation: Select suppliers with a good reputation to ensure product quality and reliable after-sales service.
Technical Support: The supplier should provide necessary technical support to help address issues encountered during use.

When purchasing AF glass, it is important to consider coating quality, light transmission, surface hardness, ease of cleaning, size and thickness, production capacity and lead time, and supplier reputation and service. By thoroughly understanding these key points, you can ensure that the AF glass you purchase will meet specific application requirements and provide excellent performance and user experience.
