Non-fluorinated invisible fingerprint coatings

Abstract

Compositions (e.g., coatings) comprising an invisible fingerprint material, and related articles, methods, and kits, are generally described. In certain embodiments, the coating comprises an invisible fingerprint material that is configured to hide the appearance of fingerprints on a surface on which the coating is disposed. In some embodiments, for example, the invisible fingerprint material is configured to cause oils to spread along the surface on which the coating is disposed. The invisible fingerprint properties of the coating may be provided, in certain embodiments, by a reaction product of one or more silane-containing crosslinking agents and a silane-containing additive (e.g., a polydimethylsiloxane-containing additive, a polyethylene glycol-containing additive).
