First of all, the anti-fingerprint effect of anti-fingerprint stainless steel plates does not mean that fingerprints cannot be imprinted on the surface of stainless steel, but that the traces of fingerprints imprinted are shallower than those on ordinary stainless steel surfaces, and they are relatively easy to wipe clean, and no stains will remain after wiping.

The anti-fingerprint effect is achieved by coating the surface with a hydrophobic material film, which makes it difficult for stains to adhere to like a lotus leaf. Adhesives will not be able to gain a foothold and spread on the surface, thereby achieving the anti-fingerprint effect.

The inability of adherents to gain a foothold and spread on the surface is an important factor in achieving anti-fingerprints. To make it difficult for adherents to gain a foothold and spread on the surface, this involves reducing the surface tension of the contact surface. Surface tension is a manifestation of molecular force. It occurs when liquid and gas come into contact. It is generated between the contact edges of the two. It is determined by the special situation of the liquid molecules in the surface layer. Due to the effect of surface tension, the surface of a liquid always tends to be as small as possible (the pressure around the liquid is the same and tends to the same point), so small droplets in the air tend to be spherical in shape.

Simply put, the function of surface tension is to make the surface layer of a liquid have a tendency to shrink. It is related to the properties of the liquid and has nothing to do with the size of the liquid surface. Surface tension can also be regarded as surface free energy, which can be approximately regarded as the active state of the surface. The greater the surface tension, that is, the greater the surface energy, the more active the surface is and the easier it is to adhere to other objects.
