SURECO™ AF Series <General Name > Fluorinated Anti-Fouling coating

Product summary

Anti-fouling and mold-release coating agents resist adhesion of water, oil and other elements and they are widely used in materials such as glass, metal, and resin surfaces. However, conventional coatings have low abrasion resistance, which causes them to wear-off quickly from friction as they are used. Therefore, it becomes necessary to apply excessively thick coatings or frequently reapply them in order to maintain the desired effects. Some coating agents have no oil repellency, a drawback that makes them prone to buildup of sebum and other oils.

The SURECO™ AF Series is an anti-fouling and mold-release coating agent that combines high abrasion resistance with the outstanding performance of fluorine. Despite its thin coating, it provides superior abrasion resistance with almost no loss in performance. Fingerprints also wipe off with ease, making it an ideal product for coating products like touch panel glass, lenses and mirrors.

Including for metals and resins, the SURECO™ AF Series gives substrates abrasion resistance, anti-fouling properties, water and oil repellency, and even superior mold releasability. Taking advantage of these attributes, it is possible to use in a wide variety of new applications that go beyond glass and lenses.

Anti-fouling effect

1) Fingerprint

Apply fingerprints to the substrate and wipe them off with a cotton cloth to verify the wiping performance.

2) Oil-based pen

Verify the ink spreading properties by drawing a line on the substrate with an oil-based marker. Additionally, after 10 minutes, verify the wiping performance using a cotton cloth.
