Electronic protective coating for device screens and glass surfaces

Using spray or dip application, an ultra-thin coating can be applied to your device surface for consistent, full coverage.
 

• Low viscosity and surface tension make it exceptionally thin (less than 10 nanometers)
• Optically transparent, so it won’t affect the look of the device
• Thermal curing adds chemical and abrasion resistance

Our easy-clean properties keep devices looking and feeling good to help realise the vision of device designers.
 

• Hydrophobic and oleophobic: Excellent repellency for quick and easy clean-up of the surface from a variety of contaminants
• Anti-smudge: Resists the accumulation of fingerprints, oils, liquids, grime and cosmetics
• Improved lubricity: Makes the surface feel smooth and appealing

Using Novec Electronic Grade Coatings to help protect surfaces offers process advantages and efficiencies for manufacturers of handheld devices and other touchscreen-enabled electronics, especially when compared with plasma vapor deposition (PVD) processes:
 

• Easy application using spray or dip method   
• No need for expensive, complex PVD equipment or specialised labour
• Dry time of less than 2 minutes; thermal curing adds chemical and abrasion resistance

Get the appearance and performance you want for your device without compromising worker safety or increasing environmental impact. All Novec coatings are formulated using 3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids, which are:
 

• Low global warming potential (GWP) solvents with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP)
• Exempt from the U.S. EPA definitions for volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• Not scheduled for regulatory phasedown or phase-out
• Low in toxicity with a wide margin of worker safety
• Non-flammable
• Non-conductive
