What are the Advantages & Disadvantages of Oleophobic Coating

What are the disadvantages of oleophobic coating? What are the advantages of oleophobic coating?
The application of oleophobic coatings (also known as oleophobic layers) is becoming more and more extensive. In addition to the surface of precision instruments, many scenes requiring high cleanliness will also adopt oleophobic coating. Of course, the oleophobic layer is known and contacted by users most of the fingerprint lock screen and mobile phone touch screen. The addition of oleophobic coating has many advantages, but there are also some troublesome shortcomings. Now let me tell you more.


What are the advantages and benefits of oleophobic coating?
1.Keep clean, screen oleophobic coating generally uses nano-materials, using electroplating process, forming a protective film on the screen surface, with hydrophobic and oleophobic functions, oil stains are not easily contaminated, easy to wipe, can effectively keep the screen clean.


2.Enhance the operation feel, the nano-material of the oleophobic layer has a smooth surface, smooth operation, does not increase the friction of the fingers, greatly reduces the obstruction phenomenon, and the touch is better.


3.To ensure touch sensitivity, oil contamination will reduce the sensitivity of fingerprint recognition, finger touch and other operational reactions, affecting the use efficiency, oleophobic layer cleaning ability is the guarantee of sensitivity.


In addition, the oleophobic coating has the characteristics of low process cost, which provides the first conditions for mass production.

Although the application of oleophobic layer is extensive, it is not a perfect material and still has some shortcomings.
1.Poor wear resistance, screen oleophobic layer due to the requirements of the touch experience, generally, the thickness can be neglected, long-term high-intensity use will cause the phenomenon of shedding wear, thus greatly affecting the user experience.

2.The process standards are not uniform, the process requirements of different screen surface oleophobic layer are different, resulting in different quality and experience, and does not meet the technical standards required for production and use.

The abrasion of the oleophobic layer is a headache for many users. After the oleophobic coating on the surface of the mobile phone screen or the smart lock touch screen is worn away, it is recommended to purchase the oleophobic layer to solve the problem, that is, the tempered glass screen protector and nano liquid screen protector, so we can protect our phone screen from any scratched.
