No more tiny handprints, coming to a fridge near you. Picture your refrigerator. Now picture the surface you can actually see that surrounds the finger paintings, photo montages, magnets and grocery lists.
Imagine it is stain resistant - without fingerprints or scratches.
You have permission to squeal with delight, because a refrigerator surface like this may exist in the future.
Buh-bye, Smudges

Smooth and interactive
3M scientists have created a surface film that is luxuriously smooth, yet amazingly tough, and resists scratches, abrasions, fingerprints, stains and chemicals.
This silky-smooth film is already being used in laptop track pads.
Soon, it likely will be used on the surface of many products we come in contact with daily - from appliances and automotive interiors to mobile phones and tablets.

And the super-cool science part?
This durable film is made with millions of precisely embedded glass microspheres, which create a smooth, cool-to-the-touch feel and provide scratch resistance to 9H pencil hardness - that's the hardest pencil available.
