Anti-shatter foil for your multitouch
One possible solution to minimize the risk of contamination of the surface of your multi-touch screen, or of injuries caused by glass breakage, is our shatterproof film. The material from which the anti-shatter foil is made has proven itself over the years in our membrane keyboards and also in the laminated touchscreens. This film is a high quality hard coated polyester (PET) film consisting of a base polyester and an embossable, chemically bonded and UV cured surface coating which also allows for greater durability.
Shatter protection films have a scratch-resistant surface and, thanks to their transparency, provide almost inconspicuous protection. The anti-shatter foil is very easy to clean and also has excellent resistance to many common industrial solvents and household chemicals.
Use on glass surfaces
Our shatter protection film can be applied to all types of glass and is almost invisible on the surface of the glass due to its transparency. It doesn’t matter whether your glass touch unit is grouted in a frame or just mounted on an aluminum carrier, whether it’s normal float glass or laminated safety glass, the shatter protection film keeps every tiny piece of glass back. Even if the glass shatters, the foil will hold it together (as shown in the video on the left). The risk of injury is reduced to a minimum here.
Surface coating
By default, we differentiate between these two for the anti-shatter foil:
- gloss or shiny surface (Fig.1)
- Gloss level of 96% +/- 2%
- Light transmittance of 96%
- Maximum processing temperature 120°C
- Temperature of use between -40°C and 85°C
- anti-glare or anti-reflective surface (Fig.2)
- Gloss level of only 60% +/- 5%
- Light transmittance of 96%
- Maximum processing temperature 120°C
- Temperature of use between -40°C and 85°C
Both foils are based on a clear polyester film that can be used over the entire surface in all areas. Polyester film is tougher and more durable than polycarbonate and PVC films. The only but crucial difference between gloss and antiglare is the additional antiglare coating

The most important features of the anti-shatter foil in brief
- Polyester film is tougher and more durable than polycarbonate and PVC films
- Particularly suitable for food, pharmaceuticals and medical technology
- The anti-shatter film can be applied to all types of glass
- In addition to capturing pieces of glass, the mechanical strength of the glass is also increased so that the glass does not break in the first place
- Integration of buttons – whether capacitive or mechanical possible
- Surface anti-reflective coating: gloss (shiny) or antiglare (anti-reflective)
- High transparency: almost invisible
- Resistance to many common industrial solvents and household chemicals
- Applied to glass using OCA (optical clear adhesive).
- Very easy to clean (chemical resistance list available on request)
- High abrasion resistance
- After glass breakage still safe to use with and without gloves.
