The oleophobic coating offers a certain amount of finger smudge resistance to the smartphone’s display. Therefore, using a common soft cloth you can easily wipe out the dirty things and leave the cellphone as brand new.

Usually, Oleophobic Coating can be divided into 3 kinds of crafts: smear by hand, sprinkle by machine and electroplate. There is no glass protector with complete anti-fingerprint function.

The best electroplate effect can last two months, while the type smear by hand can only last a few days. Water-drop on Type A gathers around itself and stays in an almost spheric form, while Type B just splats on the display, it has poor anti-fingerprint performance.

Anti-Scratch Test

Moh’s hardness was usually to be taken as the reference index of scratch, screen scratch could happen when the material’s hardness is higher than Moh’s hardness.

According to the theory of Moh’s hardness:nail is 2.5, aluminum and copper is 3, iron is 4-5, stainless steel is 5.5, simple glass is 6, Corning Gorilla Glass is 6.5, special glass is near to 7, quartz (main ingredient of sand) is 7, topaz is 8,corundum is 9 (ruby and sapphire), diamond is 10.

Tempered glass is also a kind of glass, so it’s Moh’s hardness should between 6 to 7, in theory, tempered glass will not be scratched by the knife and key. Many Tempered Glass Protector suppliers mark 9H hardness on their product packages.

Actually, this so-called 9H refers to the hardest degree of a pencil. According to the Moh’s hardness, it cannot beyond the sharpener(5), so every piece of glass can reach the 9H and above.
