Anti-fingerprint coatings are specialized surface treatments applied to materials like glass, metal, or plastic to reduce the visibility of fingerprints, smudges, and oily residues. They effectively repel oils and water, facilitating easier cleaning and enhancing surface appearance. Widely utilized to improve user experience and uphold aesthetics, these coatings play a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness and visual appeal of surfaces.

The primary types of anti-fingerprint coatings include hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings. Hydrophobic coatings specifically repel water. Various technologies, such as vacuum deposition and sol-gel processes, are employed to provide anti-fingerprint properties, utilizing materials like silicon, titanium, fluorine, among others. Anti-fingerprint coatings find application across diverse sectors including consumer goods, building and construction, automotive, stainless steel, and others.
