Popis: Concealed cistern control panels are the systems allowing the water inside the built-in reservoir to flow into the toilet bowl when it is necessary. In order to provide the water inside the reservoir to flush into the toilet bowl after the toilet is used, it is necessary to apply force on the control panels. Therefore, the panel surface is pressed with fingers. Especially in public places such as shopping malls, schools, hospitals; the sweat, oil and cosmetics passing through the fingers in a very short time leave spots on the panel surfaces. In order to clean the spots, it is needed to use cleaning materials with chemical content. This situation leads extra cost and as well as time consuming process. For this reason antifingerprint coated panels are required. In this study, antifingerprint coating systems were developed and to improve the coating performance such as mechanical and chemical resistance, different polyurethane composition ratios were studied and effectiveness of the coating systems were investigated by using characterization methods (SEM, EDX, FTIR).
