Lipase-containing polymeric coatings for the facilitated removal of fingerprints

A composition for facilitating fingerprint removal comprising:

• a substrate;
• a lipase capable of degrading a fingerprint component, said lipase associated with said substrate so as to be capable of degrading a fingerprint contacting said substrate;
• and
• a fingerprint, said fingerprint contacting said substrate and said lipase.

A curable composition for facilitating fingerprint removal comprising:

• a lipase;
• and
• a solvent-borne two-component polyurethane coating material;
• said lipase dispersed into said coating by covalent interaction with said coating material so as to be capable of degrading a fingerprint when said coating is contacted by a fingerprint.
