What is an AFP coating?

An Anti-Fingerprint (AFP) coating is a specialist type of coating that is designed to reduce the appearance of fingerprints on a surface. It is commonly used on plastic surfaces, such as touch screens and display panels. The AFP coating is a thin layer of material that is resistant to oils and other substances that are commonly found on the human skin.

One of the key advantages of AFP coatings is that they can help to improve the aesthetic appearance of a surface. Fingerprints and smudges can quickly detract from the look of a surface, and an AFP coating can help to reduce this problem. It also means that surfaces do not need to be cleaned as often, which can save time and money in the long run.

AFP coatings can also help to improve the performance of a surface. For example, on touch screens and display panels, fingerprints and smudges can interfere with the touch sensitivity, leading to poor performance. An AFP coating can help to maintain the touch sensitivity of a surface, ensuring it remains responsive and accurate.
