Stainless steel is widely used in architectural decoration, appliance manufacturing, medical equipment, and other fields due to its high strength, corrosion resistance, and modern aesthetics. However, traditional stainless steel surfaces are prone to fingerprint and oil stains, a persistent headache for designers and end-users. Frequent cleaning not only increases maintenance costs but may also cause scratches from improper wiping, compromising visual appeal.
How can stainless steel retain its metallic texture while resisting fingerprints and enabling effortless cleaning? Ferosteel®’s Innovative Fingerprint-Resistant Surface Technology redefines the functional value of stainless steel through scientific solutions, delivering a premium "zero fingerprint hassle" experience.
Fingerprint residue stems from the microscopic pores on stainless steel surfaces that trap oils and sweat. Traditional polishing or coating methods offer only temporary relief, often sacrificing durability or tactile quality.
Ferosteel®’s breakthrough solution leverages the following technological advancements:
Nano Fingerprint-Resistant Coating
A specially formulated water-based fingerprint-resistant oil is applied via precision roller coating or spraying, forming a dense nanoscale protective layer. This coating fills surface micro-pores, reducing adhesion and preventing fingerprints or watermarks from adhering.
Dual-Function Design
Anti-Stain Performance: Hydrophobic and oleophobic properties with a liquid contact angle >110°, enabling effortless stain removal.
Long-Term Durability: Withstands 5,000+ abrasion cycles and meets ASTM B117 corrosion resistance standards, suitable for harsh environments like high humidity or temperature extremes.
Visual and Tactile Optimization
Customizable matte, brushed, or mirror finishes preserve the metal’s innate texture while delivering a smooth, warm touch—eliminating the cold feel of traditional stainless steel.
Ferosteel®’s technology provides tailored solutions across industries, addressing long-standing pain points:
Premium Appliances & Kitchenware: Fingerprint-free refrigerator panels and oven doors reduce kitchen cleanup.
Architectural Decor & Elevators: Maintain pristine surfaces on public facades and handrails, lowering maintenance costs.
Medical & Lab Equipment: Antibacterial fingerprint-resistant coatings meet sterile environment requirements and extend equipment lifespan.
We go beyond surface treatment, empowering clients with a full-spectrum value chain:
