Anti-fingerprint coatings among specialty technologies to be highlighted
PPG (NYSE: PPG) will showcase its full line of advanced transparent and
conductive coatings for display glass and plastic substrates at the SID
Vehicle Displays Detroit symposium and expo in Livonia, Michigan,
Sept. 26-27.
PPG produces a full range of transparent functional vehicle display
coatings, including easy-to-clean (EC), anti-glare (AG), anti-reflective
(AR) and anti-fingerprint (AFP) coatings. These coatings can be combined
into pre-engineered, pre-stacked and pre-packaged solutions for
automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their tier
suppliers.
As part of the event’s technical program, Zilu Li, research chemist,
display coatings, PPG industrial coatings research and development, will
present a paper titled “Anti-Fingerprint Coatings for Display
Applications” at 11 a.m. on Sept. 27. Li will show the water contact
angle, wear-durability and surface morphology for PPG’s newly developed
sol-gel based AFP coating, which combines the ability to hide
fingerprints on glass surfaces with excellent cleanability.
Other PPG products featured at the expo will include advanced conductive
coatings, such as safe-on-substrate (SOS) alcohol-solvent-based
coatings; Neptune Z Series water-based conductive paints; polymer thick
film (PTF) ink products; and thermosetting electrostatic discharge (ESD)
coatings.
PPG is among the few companies worldwide to manufacture conductive and
transparent functional EC, AG, AR and AFP coatings for glass, plastic
and metal substrates.
Presented by the Detroit Chapter of the Society for Information Display
(SID), the annual vehicle display symposium and expo attracts
scientific, engineering and automotive manufacturing leaders from around
the world for two days of technical knowledge-sharing and advancement of
in-car electronic-display-related technologies.
