Durable Antifingerprint and Oleophobic coating – DefensIz®

“IZOVAC Technologies" has developed an oleophobic and hydrophobic


coating technology on glass and polymer surfaces. Oleophobic anti-
fingerprint (AF) coatings could be combined with anti-reflective coatings
(AR) on one glass. Due to easy to clean and anti-smudge (oleo- &
hydrophobic) characteristics as well as high durability coating DefensIz®
could be used in various industries.
“IZOVAC Technologies" offers customized details with oleophobic and
hydrophobic coating. We’re looking forward to support your products
with our expertise.
The multifunctional AR+AF coating is well
suited for use in surface protection of optical Applications: Advantages:
glasses from contamination and mechanical  Touch-screen  Anti-reflective
scratches, as wear-resistant coatings for displays  Anti-fingerprint
smartphones, technical displays, touch screens  Architectural glass  Durable
(including ruggedized, industrial, medical,  Optics  Easy-to-clean
public, gaming displays, etc.), architectural  Automotive  Water repellant
glass, and for variety of other applications.  Photovoltaic  Great haptics
 and others  Antibacterial

With DefensIz® coating Substrates (Materials):


DefensIz could be applied on:

 Float glass
 Optical glass
 Color glass
 Polymer
 ZnS
 LiF
Without hydrophobic coating
 Etc.

Main features:
• High durability (12,000 cycles of abrasion steel wool with a load of 10 N);
• Stress resistance (the coating can withstand thermal shock from minus 40 to plus 85 ° C, 30
cycles, one cycle of 5 minutes);
• Light resistance (72 hours at 20 cm from the lamp power of 15 watts, generating ultraviolet
radiation group B);
• Humidity resistance (72 hours at 95% humidity and 50 ° C)
• Resistance to organic solvents (250 cycles friction cargo weight 0.5 kg, abrasion strip length
l=15 mm, the velocity v = 20 mm / s, the spattering of methanol every 50 cycles);
• Resistance to emulsions (Nivea Sun Spray SPF30, holding at 80 ° C and 80% RH for 24
hours);
• Acid resistance (pH 4.6, 48 hours aging);
• Inert to salt water (maintaining in the 5% NaCl solution 10 days at 35° C with the test result
every 3 days);
• The antibacterial properties (bacteria do not multiply in the oleophobic surface);
• Low light reflection in combination with antireflection coatings
Long-term Durability –
the breakthrough for any
professional touch application

IZOVAC Technologies offers an extreme


long-term resistance of the coatings,
keeping up to 12,000 cycles of abrasion
steel wool with a load of 10 N. In this
case the contact angle of water remains in
the range of 115-105°.
