Material guides

Each guide answers a specific buying question and links back into product, application and quote pages.

PET

PET vs Tempered Glass

PET is lighter, flexible and shatter-free; tempered glass is harder, more premium and more impact resistant. The right answer depends on failure mode, safety requirement, edge geometry and the cost of field replacement.

Anti-Glare vs Anti-Reflective

Anti-glare uses surface texture to diffuse light. Anti-reflective uses optical coatings to reduce mirror-like reflection while preserving more clarity. They solve different lighting problems.

Thickness Guide

Thickness affects fit, feel, impact resistance, adhesive choice and touch performance. Most custom PET is 0.10-0.20mm; most custom glass is 0.25-0.50mm.

Hardness Guide

9H pencil hardness is useful for comparing scratch resistance, but it does not describe drop performance. Buyers should specify both surface hardness and impact expectations.

Read moreOptical

Optical Clarity Guide

Transmission, haze, colour shift and adhesive uniformity determine whether a protector looks invisible or compromises the display.

Read moreManufacturing

Manufacturing Tolerances

Tolerances cover outer dimensions, cut-outs, radius corners, edge finish and adhesive placement. The required tolerance depends on bezel clearance and assembly method.

Read moreSurface

Surface Treatments

Oleophobic, anti-fingerprint, matte, antimicrobial, anti-reflective and hard-coat layers all change how the protector performs in service.

Read moreAdhesive

Adhesive Technologies

Silicone, acrylic, edge-only and full-surface adhesives behave differently under heat, cleaning, humidity and repeated touch.
