Shin-Etsu AR-100F

Key Features

• Excellent hydrophobic and oleophobic properties: Extremely low surface tension makes it difficult for water droplets, oil, and fingerprints to adhere; the water droplet contact angle is typically over 110°.
• Easy to clean: Even if stained with fingerprints or oil, it can be easily wiped clean with a microfiber cloth.
• High abrasion and scratch resistance: Its molecular chains can form strong covalent bonds with inorganic substrates (such as glass, SiO₂ coatings), resulting in extremely high frictional durability.
• Low dynamic coefficient of friction: The coating surface is extremely smooth, significantly improving the smoothness of finger gliding on the screen.
• Excellent light transmittance: The coating thickness is typically only in the nanometer range, completely unaffected by the original high transparency and display effect of the substrate.

Application Scenarios

• Touchscreen displays: Cover glass for smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
• Automotive displays: Center console navigation screens, rearview mirrors, and dashboard glass.
• Optical lenses: Camera lenses, lenses for smart wearable devices, and various inorganic anti-reflective (AR) coatings.
