Anti-Fingerprint Stainless Steel
Anti-fingerprint, anti-oil and bright hairline surface, easy to clean and maintain stainless steel plate
After anti-fingerprint treatment, stainless steel sheets better resist impacts, scratches, and acid or alkaline corrosion, keeping their bright finish over time.
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.
Standard (left) vs. anti-fingerprint (right) stainless steel: the left shows fingerprints and spreading water, while the right repels both.
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).
Acrylic Coating vs. Nano-Ceramic Coating:
| Comparison | Acrylic AFP Series | Nano-Ceramic AFP Series |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Hardness | Standard (2H) | High (6H) |
| Corrosion & Solvent Resistance | Good | Excellent |
| Color Options | Multiple colors (black, rose gold, champagne gold, stainless original) | Stainless original |
| Suitable Applications | Cabinets, interior décor, and appliances where color matters | Appliance exteriors and decorative panels requiring higher surface strength |

Processing - Finish

By using a selective protective film and following proper processing procedures, it is possible to create a high-value product. This is precisely why AFP coating is used.

At Lienchy Metal, we carefully select high-quality substrates from reputable local steel mills. We believe that quality is paramount, and by using top-quality substrates in conjunction with our advanced Acrylic/Nano Ceramic anti-fingerprint coating technology, we are able to produce the finest anti-fingerprint stainless steel products for customers all over the world.
Many of our anti-fingerprint SUS clients are in the home and kitchen appliance industries, operating in various regions. Our products are widely used for finishing or assembly, as demonstrated in the attached photo. The end-product shown is a range hood that has undergone a range of processes such as punching, bending, and laser cutting.

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.
