AF coating for touchscreen cover glass

AF Coated Glass

We manufacture custom AF Coated Glass for touchscreens, electronic displays, consumer electronics, automotive interfaces and other applications where fingerprint resistance and easy surface cleaning are important.

AF, or Anti-Fingerprint, treatment is designed to provide a surface with improved resistance to fingerprints, oils and everyday contamination. The coating can be applied to customized glass substrates according to the optical, mechanical and surface requirements of the final product.

Glass dimensions, thickness, shape, CNC holes and cutouts, edge processing, silk screen printing and strengthening can be customized according to customer drawings. AR or AG treatments can also be evaluated when multiple surface-performance requirements need to be combined.

What Is AF Coated Glass?

AF Coated Glass is glass treated with an anti-fingerprint surface coating designed to reduce the adhesion of fingerprints, oils and other everyday contaminants.

AF treatment is particularly useful for touchscreens and frequently handled glass surfaces. The surface properties can make fingerprints less noticeable and help make routine cleaning easier.

The suitable AF coating depends on the glass substrate, application, optical requirements, touch interaction and expected surface conditions. Final coating specifications should therefore be confirmed according to the project requirements.

AF Coated Glass for Touchscreens

AF coated glass is commonly considered for touchscreen products because the glass surface is frequently touched by users.

Applications may include:

  • Touchscreen displays

  • POS terminals

  • Industrial HMIs

  • Automotive displays

  • Control panels

  • Tablets

  • Smart home devices

  • Consumer electronics

For touchscreen projects, AF coating can be evaluated together with glass thickness, surface finish, optical requirements, printing and strengthening specifications.

AF Coated Glass with Silk Screen Printing

AF coated glass can also be combined with custom silk screen printing for borders, logos, icons and functional graphics. The compatibility of the printing and coating sequence should be confirmed according to the selected glass structure and production requirements.

Quality Inspection for AF Coated Glass

AF coated glass can be inspected according to the agreed glass, coating and application specifications.

Inspection may include glass dimensions and thickness, surface appearance, coating uniformity, printed areas, optical requirements and other project-specific criteria.

For OEM projects, inspection requirements can be established from customer drawings and technical specifications before production to help maintain consistent glass and coating quality throughout the order.

See our Quality Inspection process for more information.
