Oleophobic Coating

Key features

Oleophobic Coating creates an extremely smooth surface that repels grease, fingerprints and oily residues. This coating is particularly useful for people who wear glasses all day and clean them frequently.

Benefits of Oleophobic Coating

• Reducing carbon footprints — Fingers leave fewer marks on the lens.
• Cleaner lenses — Less build-up of grease and residue.
• Easy to clean — A smooth surface requires less effort to keep it clear.
• Better picture quality — Less blurring and greater sharpness.

Types of Oleophobic Coating

• Standard oleophobic coating — Basic protection against fingerprints and grease.
• Super-oleophobic — Maximum ease of use and easy to clean.
• Combined oleophobic coating — Formulated with an anti-reflective agent and a hardener for complete protection.

When is it recommended?

• Heavy daily use — For those who clean their glasses frequently.
• Challenging working environments — Offices, workshops, manual trades.
• Screens and digital devices — Reduces marks caused by frequent contact.
• Lenses with anti-reflective coating — It increases its lifespan and makes it easier to maintain.
