3M Novec 1720 Electronic Grade Coating Easy Clean Anti Smudge
Type: Fluorosilane Anti Smudge
Solids: 0.1 wt%
Coating Thickness: <10 nm
Cure: 135°C / 10-15 min
Packing: 5KG / 20KG drum
3M Novec 1720 Electronic Grade Coating is a clear, low-viscosity fluorosilane polymer solution designed for easy-clean and anti-smudge protection on glass displays, touchscreens, and mobile electronic devices. Carried in 3M Novec 7100 Engineered Fluid, this ultra-thin coating (less than 10 nanometers) dries to a transparent, permanent film with excellent hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. Unlike Novec 1700/1702, Novec 1720 requires thermal curing to achieve maximum durability and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for high-touch surfaces such as smartphones, tablets, and flat panel displays.
Novec 1720 provides superior anti-wetting, anti-stiction, and anti-migration properties while maintaining optical clarity with no added haze. It adheres strongly to a variety of surfaces including glass, metals, and metal oxides through covalent bonding. Once thermally cured, the coating forms a permanent protective layer that is highly resistant to oils, fingerprints, and contaminants. Environmentally, it is nonflammable, non-ozone-depleting, low in toxicity, low GWP, RoHS compliant, and VOC exempt (per U.S. EPA). With a shelf life of 2 years and easy application by dip, spray, or selective dispensing, Novec 1720 offers a durable, high-performance solution for consumer electronics and display protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 3M Novec 1720 Electronic Grade Coating?
3M Novec 1720 is an ultrathin fluorosilane polymer coating designed for easy clean and anti-smudge protection on glass displays, touchscreens, and mobile electronic devices. It provides permanent hydrophobic and oleophobic properties with optical clarity.
Does Novec 1720 require curing?
Yes. Novec 1720 air dries in seconds but requires thermal curing at 135°C for 10-15 minutes to achieve optimal durability and abrasion resistance. Once cured, the coating is permanent.
How does Novec 1720 differ from Novec 1700/1702?
Novec 1720 uses fluorosilane polymer chemistry (vs acrylic polymer), requires thermal curing (vs no cure), forms a permanent bond with glass surfaces, and provides <10 nm ultra-thin coating optimized for optical clarity on displays and touchscreens.
What is the coating thickness of Novec 1720?
Novec 1720 provides an ultra-thin coating of less than 10 nanometers, which is optically transparent and contributes no additional haze or loss of clarity.
Is Novec 1720 coating removable?
Once thermally cured, Novec 1720 forms a permanent coating that provides durable easy-clean and anti-smudge properties. It is not designed for removal after curing.
What is the shelf life of Novec 1720 coating?
Novec 1720 has a shelf life of 2 years from date of manufacture when stored in original unopened container at 16-27°C and <60% RH.
Is Novec 1720 coating environmentally friendly?
Yes. Novec 1720 is nonflammable, non-ozone-depleting, low in toxicity, low GWP, RoHS compliant, and VOC exempt per U.S. EPA.
