Series
Fluoro-modified
Low surface energy, anti-fingerprint
Fluorine in the backbone lowers the surface energy well below what the unmodified grades reach, so water and oils do not wet the film and fingerprints do not cling. Six grades differ in how much fluorine they carry, from lightly modified to heavily fluorinated. Cured in an oven only.

How to choose inside this series
Start from the lightest grade that meets the contact angle you need: more fluorine costs more and buys surface energy you may not require.
