CleanVue™ PRO Series – Oleophobic/Hydrophobic Optical Coating

No Coating vs. CleanVue™ Pro AR399 CoatingAbrisa Technologies’ CleanVue™ PRO – Series of antireflection coatings combine improved handling, cleaning, water shedding, and robust performance with excellent anti-reflective properties making it ideal for displays and optical windows intended for use in “tough” outdoor, high traffic, or other challenging use environments.

CleanVue™ PRO – Series anti-reflection coatings are both oleophobic and hydrophobic. CleanVue™ PRO’s oleophobic properties repel oil and make the glass easy-to-clean; fingerprints wipe off easily and the coating provides a non-smudge Surface. The hydrophobic properties repel water and other liquids, allowing for them to be shed easily from the glass, promoting easier “view-ability”. CleanVue™ PRO’s hydrophobic coating properties also reduce friction on the glass, providing improved surface “slickness”, enhancing scratch resistance.

Oleophobic & Hydrophobic Coating Practical Applications:

  • Outdoor Displays – shed rain, enhance “clean-abilty” for high traffic displays
  • Portable Instrument Displays – easy-to-remove fingerprints, scratch resistant, water resistant
  • Vehicular Displays – easy-to-clean, oleo/lubricant resistant, scratch resistant
  • Indoor Touch Displays – easy-to-remove fingerprints, easy-to-clean, scratch resistant
  • Indoor Console Displays – easy-to-remove fingerprints, easy-to-clean, scratch resistant
  • Portable Medical Displays – easy-to-remove fingerprints, easy-to-clean, scratch resistant
  • Outdoor CCD Camera Windows – shed rain
  • Outdoor Detector Cover Glass – shed rain
  • Lab Instrument Panels – easy-to-clean

Abrisa Technologies’ CleanVue™ PRO – Series of Oleo/Hydrophobic AR coatings will not flake or peel off the glass substrate over time and exhibit no negative impact to the glass transparency and image clarity for displays.

  • The outdoor UV version; CleanVue™ PRO-AR399 UV performs well at elevated temperatures and direct UV exposure found in most outdoor applications. Glass coated with PRO-AR399 UV will typically retain its water contact angle performance with up to 2000 hours of continuous exposure at temperatures of 200ºC and direct UV exposure hours to 10K hours.
  • The indoor version of CleanVue™ PRO-AR399 is ideal for environments where repeated high traffic, direct contact, and more abrasion is expected. The coated glass will typically retain its water contact angle performance with up to 12K cycles of steel wool abrasion.

CleanVue™ PRO – Oleophobic/Hydrophobic Optical Coating

CleanVue™PRO-AR399 Series coatings are easy to maintain and are impervious to most cleaners found in the field, the office, and industrial work environments with a pH between 3 and 11, acids, mild alkalis, acetone, diesel fuel, alcohol, road salt, windshield washer fluid, anti-freeze, and most household cleaners.
