Goodbye to scratches on screens? A new nanocoating technology could reach over a million devices.
The ecological nanocoating technology from Optitune can benefit both current laptops and tablets, as well as those that will be developed in the future.
Optitune, a Finnish company specializing in advanced nanocoating technologies, has formalized a significant supply agreement with a leading laptop and tablet manufacturer. This agreement will enable the introduction of Optitune's Invisible Fingerprint nanocoating in over one million devices, enhancing the user experience by addressing common issues such as fingerprints, scratches, and dirt.
Optitune's nanocoating technology is based on exclusive polysiloxane formulations that create ultrathin and invisible layers on various surfaces, such as metal, glass, and plastic. This new technological approach is designed to be resistant to fingerprints and helps reduce stains and marks on the device surfaces. Furthermore, the coating offers scratch resistance and other damage protection, allowing these products to maintain their original appearance for longer.
In addition to facilitating cleaning, the coating provides abrasion resistance and maintains its stability even under extreme temperature conditions or in aggressive chemical environments. A noteworthy fact is that this innovation will not only be applied to new devices; the CEO of Optitune has indicated that the trillion-dollar technology giant has decided to authorize the application of this technology to its current product line as well. This means that consumers who own current models of laptops and tablets will soon be able to benefit from these technological advancements.
Optitune's CEO, Paulus, highlighted that "this supply agreement is a significant milestone for Optitune. It is not common for a company with a trillion-dollar market capitalization to place such trust in a growing company like ours." Furthermore, Paulus mentioned that the company’s coatings address real market issues, such as durability, cost, and performance.
Paulus also expressed pride in the fact that this coating is one of the most sustainable on the market. Optitune was a pioneer in launching a fluorine-free polymer for this application, and its combination of being as thin as nanometers while eliminating the use of printed materials drastically reduces the amount of chemicals needed, thereby decreasing the carbon footprint of the coating.
