Enabling 250% better visibility on every transparent surface with our B2B fingerprint hiding coating.

The Tough Tech problem we are solving

Eyewear users constantly battle smudges from fingerprints and oils that blur vision and demand frequent cleaning, straining eyes and reducing safety in critical settings like surgery, construction, and military operations. Current coatings rely on harmful PFAS chemicals that cluster oils, damage the environment, and face impending regulatory bans, leaving manufacturers without viable, durable alternatives.

About our solution

Unsmudgeable delivers a permanent, PFAS-free anti-smudge coating using oleophilic technology that spreads oils evenly for crystal-clear vision without reapplication. Designed for seamless integration into manufacturers' PVD processes, it provides superior fingerprint resistance, scratch durability, and regulatory compliance, enabling differentiated eyewear products.
