The oleophobic layer is a consumable, but half of its consumption rate depends on the usage method: rough fabrics, alcohol-containing wet wipes, and dry wiping with tissues will all accelerate the wear of the coating. The correct three steps for cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or air to remove particles → gently wipe with a slightly damp microfiber cloth → finish with a dry cloth.
A home method for judging the health of the coating: Drop water to observe - if the water droplets roll smoothly, it indicates a good oleophobic layer; if they spread out, it indicates obvious wear.
A quick overview of key terms
Oleophobic layer (anti-fingerprint coating
The hydrophobic layer is a fluoride coating that reduces the affinity of the surface for oily liquids, determining the smoothness of the hand feel and the anti-fingerprint ability. ... This page focuses on: Cleaning and Maintenance Special Topic: Making Coatings Last Longer
Water droplet Angle
The droplet Angle is the contact Angle formed by a droplet on a solid surface. The larger the Angle, the more hydrophobic and oleophobic the surface is. It is a commonly used indicator for quantifying the state of coatings. ... This page focuses on: Cleaning and Maintenance Special Topic: Making Coatings Last Longer
Wear resistance performance
Wear resistance refers to the retention ability of the surface coating under repeated friction. In the industry, it is commonly quantified by the number of friction times of steel wool/rubber and the attenuation of water droplet Angle. ...
