What is Anti-fingerprint stainless steel (AFP)?

Anti-fingerprint stainless steel (AFP) is a stainless steel sheet coated with a transparent anti-fingerprint layer that resists fingerprints and oil stains, makes cleaning easy, and increases surface hardness and corrosion resistance — all while preserving the original metallic look of stainless steel. It is a cost-effective alternative to expensive titanium-coated panels.

Lienchy's anti-fingerprint stainless steel passes multiple durability tests and is RoHS-compliant (RoHS verified by SGS), and is specified by major home appliance brands in Europe and North America for refrigerator doors, range hoods, washing machines, and dishwasher panels, as well as elevator and interior decoration panels.

Lienchy Metal's anti-fingerprint stainless steel comes in two types by coating material: acrylic anti-fingerprint stainless steel and nano-ceramic anti-fingerprint stainless steel.
Both resist fingerprints and clean up easily — the difference lies in hardness, corrosion resistance, and color. Acrylic offers a wider range of colors, while nano-ceramic is harder and more corrosion-resistant, making it a better fit for products that demand a tougher surface.
See the table below for a detailed comparison.

Anti-Fingerprint vs. Standard Stainless Steel

Stainless steel sheets without anti-fingerprint treatment are prone to fingerprints, oil stains, and water marks, and are more easily scratched or corroded by acid or alkaline substances.

As we can see, the anti-fingerprint coating on the surface prevents fingerprints from sticking and maintains the shape of water droplets. This process makes it easier to clean and wipe without leaving water stains. In contrast, an unprocessed surface is difficult to clean, and it is prone to oil and water stains, making it challenging to clean effectively. Therefore, using Lienchy's anti-fingerprint stainless steel coating can significantly improve the performance of the stainless steel surface at a reasonable cost.

How to Choose Anti-Fingerprint Stainless Steel: Acrylic vs. Nano-Ceramic Coating

For products needing multiple colors and general abrasion resistance, choose acrylic anti-fingerprint stainless steel (2H); for products needing high hardness and high corrosion resistance (such as appliance panels), choose nano-ceramic anti-fingerprint stainless steel (6H).

The process of making a product involves both processing and assembly, and both aspects are equally important. If the raw materials are unable to withstand the processing requirements or the stress of assembly, the entire production process can become a significant problem for all parties involved. At Lien Chy Metal, we understand the importance of quality and have sent our products to third-party testing agencies such as SGS to ensure that we can meet your demands. With over 30 years of experience in the steel processing industry, we are confident in our ability to provide you with the best possible service.
