In high traffic environments, keeping metal surfaces clean, hygienic and visually appealing can feel like a never ending task. Stainless steel lift doors, handrails, mailboxes, control panels and reception features may look sleek when newly installed, but daily use quickly introduces fingerprints, smudges, grime build up and visible wear. Traditional cleaning routines often rely on repeated scrubbing, harsh chemicals and constant maintenance, none of which are sustainable for modern facilities.
At Cotech Coatings, we provide a smarter, more durable solution. Our COTECH Clear Coat Easy Clean™ and COTECH Biosafe systems deliver an invisible anti fingerprint coating for stainless steel, metal and other non porous surfaces, helping facilities maintain a pristine appearance with significantly less effort. These advanced coatings also double as a clear anti graffiti barrier, offering long lasting protection for metal, GRP, powder coated and other hard surfaces.
Invisible Protection With Visible Results
Our anti fingerprint coating is engineered to bond seamlessly with stainless steel and other metallic substrates, creating a transparent, ultra thin protective layer. Once applied, surfaces immediately become:
• Resistant to fingerprints and smudges
• Easier to clean, with no need for abrasive products
• Protected against grime build up
• More hygienic, thanks to reduced surface contamination
• Longer lasting, with improved resistance to wear and environmental exposure
Because the coating is completely clear, it preserves the original finish while enhancing durability and reducing maintenance time.
Anti Graffiti Performance for High Touch, High Visibility Areas
Graffiti, marker pen, adhesive residue and accidental scuffs can quickly degrade the appearance of public facing surfaces. Our COTECH Clear Coat Easy Clean™ and COTECH Biosafe systems act as a robust anti graffiti clear coat, allowing contaminants to be removed quickly and safely without damaging the underlying material.
This makes them ideal for:
• Transport hubs
• Public buildings
• Residential blocks
• Commercial entrances
• Retail environments
• Hospitality settings
With our coatings in place, facilities teams can remove graffiti and marks using mild cleaning agents with no harsh chemicals, no specialist equipment, and no risk of surface degradation.
Perfect for Lifts, COPs, Architraves and High Touch Fittings
Few surfaces experience more daily contact than lift doors, control operating panels (COPs), handrails and architraves. These areas are notorious for showing fingerprints within minutes of cleaning, especially in residential towers, hotels, offices and public transport environments.
Our anti fingerprint coating transforms these high touch points by:
• Preventing visible smudges and streaks
• Reducing the need for constant wiping
• Maintaining a polished, professional appearance
• Supporting hygiene standards in busy environments
For building managers and FM teams, this means fewer cleaning cycles, lower labour costs and consistently better presentation.
Supporting Hygiene and Surface Longevity
In today’s facilities landscape, hygiene really important. By reducing the adhesion of oils, dirt and contaminants, our coatings help maintain cleaner surfaces for longer. This is especially valuable in environments where touchpoints are shared by hundreds or thousands of users each day.
Additionally, by minimising abrasion from repeated cleaning, our coatings help extend the lifespan of stainless steel and metal fixtures. Surfaces stay newer for longer, reducing the need for costly replacements or refinishing.
