       Synthesis of HFPO Quat Silane (“HQ”) 
       [0017]    HFPO quat silane (“HQ”) was prepared as shown in the following scheme: 
         [0000]    
       
                 
         
             
             
         
       
     
       Synthesis of 1: 
       [0018]    A 500 mL round bottom flask was equipped with magnetic stir bar and charged with HFPO monomethyl ester (100 g, 0.0789 moles) and N,N-dimethylpropylamine (8.1 g, 0.0789 moles). The mixture was heated to 75° C. for 12 h and the reaction was monitored by IR for the disappearance of C═O peak and appearance of NH—C═O peak (@ 1725 cm −1 ). The reaction mixture was concentrated by rotary evaporation at 45° C. to give a clear viscous solution and was analyzed by  1 H NMR. 
       Synthesis of 2: 
       [0019]    A 50 mL round bottom flask was equipped with magnetic stir bar and charged with 1 (1 g, 0.00075 moles) and 3-chlorotrimethoxypropylsilane (0.148 g, 0.00075 moles) and heated to 140° C. for 12 h under N 2  atmosphere. The sample was analyzed by  1 H NMR. 2 was used to make formulations as shown in Table 1. 
       Preparation of ASCP Compositions 
       [0020]    Compositions No. 1C (Comparative), 13C (Comparative), 2-12 and 14-20 were prepared by mixing the reagents listed in Table 1. Composition 1C was a comparative composition, which was Klear® Screen (Meridew Enterprises, Danville Calif., USA). Water was added finally and the compositions were transferred into spray bottles, shaken for 2 minutes and stored at room temperature.

       Contact Angle Measurements: 
       [0021]    Substrates coated with compositions 1C-20 were rinsed with water (in case of plastics) and acetone (in case of glass), dried at room temperature and subjected to contact angle measurements. Contact angles were measured using a VCA-2500XE video contact angle apparatus. Results are shown in the tables 2 and 3. Reported values are averages of measurements on the different sides of at least three drops. Drop volumes were 5 microliters for static measurements, and 1-3 microliters for advancing and receding measurements.

       Cleaning/Protecting Comparison: 
       [0022]    The substance indicated in Table 4 was applied liberally to a ⅝″ roughened rubber stopper, which was then pressed against the substrate, in order to simulate a very soiled fingerprint. The substrate surfaces were previously untreated. The compound was then applied with a single pump of its spray bottle. A clean dry Kimwipe was then rubbed on the substrate in a circular motion for 8 seconds. The substrate was then wiped again with another clean dry Kimwipe for another 8 seconds in a circular motion. The substrate was then visually inspected at various angles against the light, so that any remaining residue or haze could be observed. The cleaning scores are summarized on Table 4. 
         [0023]    For the laminate, which is opaque and much more difficult to judge for cleanliness, the visual inspection also included a rubber eraser being drawn lightly across the wiped area to observe any tracking in any remaining residue or haze.

       Improved Surface Wettability: 
       [0027]    Surface wettabilities and thus cleanabilities of the compositions were further enhanced by reformulating some of the selected candidates as elaborated in Table 5. Compositions containing TMN-6 at low levels such as 0.1 wt % exhibit higher wettabilities and lowest surface tension compared to HQ in water. Surface tension measurements were performed using a platinum plate in order to remove the hysteresis observed when using a glass plate. (due to the reaction of siloxane to glass). However the trend in surface tension measurements remained the same in both cases.
