Loctite® InvisiPrint

Loctite® InvisiPrint is a patented PFAS‑free coating that disperses fingerprint oils to make smudges nearly invisible. Its unique optical approach provides over 10× improved fingerprint hiding compared with traditional AF coatings while maintaining excellent cleanability and durability. Compatible with spray and PVD processes, it is ideal for premium automotive and consumer displays.

Patented technology for fingerprint-hiding

Loctite® InvisiPrint’s patented optical mechanism makes fingerprints harder to see by spreading fingerprint oils into an ultra‑thin, uniform layer. This controlled oil‑dispersion minimizes light scattering and prevents the formation of visible smudge patterns, allowing displays to maintain a clean, clear appearance from most viewing angles.
