Dow Corning highlighted Dow Corning's latest development for touch screen and display coatings at Touch Taiwan 2012.
2634 paint
.
Originally a low-viscosity silicone-containing liquid, the coating is dried to form a transparent and durable film with excellent water, oil, stain and abrasion resistance and a low coefficient of friction to improve the feel and functionality
of the touch screen.
Once available globally, the 2634 spray technology will complement
Dow Corning's previously widely used 2634WP easy-to-clean coating using the physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating process.
