What causes unwanted damage to glass?
What causes damage to glass?
• Accidental damage, mechanical wear and tear • Deliberate damage, vandalism, “Tagging”/Graffiti
Accidental damage, wear and tear
Wear shows typically in lifts or glazed areas (escalators, cash registers, aquariums, glazed galleries, sound proofing walls, stadium glazing, buses, trains, airports, railway stations,…)
Accidental damage, wear and tear
Passage areas and revolving doors are also often exposed to big and hard baggage items or consistent abrasion.

takes the unwanted damage. Once it is removed for replacement, it should reveal a pristine, undamaged glass surface.

Deliberate damage: - Vandalism (Hooligans, Demonstrators, Vandals) - Graffiti (territorial mark and sign of reputation within the Scene)
Vandalism
• Be it the Champions‘ League, the World Economy Summit or the „Chaos Days“ – violent groups like to take advantage for some vandalism games in the downtowns, often damaging shop fronts. The damage values are sometimes excessive.
Vandalism
• Damage is often not limited to the glass surface. There is merchandise, furniture, equipment and sometimes even human lives to be protected.
Graffiti
In comparison to this, the tags and pieces of the Graffity Scene appear rather harmless. Some are even quite artistic. Nevertheless, the acts often constitute a legal offence, and there are considerable liabilities at stake.
Types of Graffiti
• Spraying with lacquer cans • Scratching with hard-tip items • Etching with acid pens
Spray Graffiti
Spraying allows a “Writer” and his “Crew” to grow beyond the stage of mere alphabetic “Tags” and to apply entire “Pieces” to walls, trains, bridges etc., to obtain the important “Fame” within the Scene and even to potentially become a “King”.
Spray Graffiti
The Writer has no political messages and often isolates himself from his family and friends. He is only after the greatest possible reputation within the Scene. Most have some awareness of illegality but prefer to ignore it.

protects the substrates from the paint cocktails. It can often be repeatedly cleaned before it has to be removed from the pristine surface beneath and replaced.
Scratch Graffiti
Scratching offers less freedom of expression to the Writer (only “Tags”, no “Pieces”). Shop fronts, bus/train stops, bus/train windows and mirrors are preferred targets.
Scratch Graffiti

can keep the scratching tools from touching and harming the glass surface.
Scratch Graffiti
• The Writer is not supposed to recognize the film if properly installed (edges, contamination, bubbles). We want him to think he is scratching on glass and then to walk away with satisfaction.
Scratch Graffiti
• Removing the protective film should leave an intact glass surface behind.
Etch Graffiti
Mainly in America, there have been cases where the tags on the glass were created with acid-filled felt tip pen shells.

is made of resistant PET and has a hardcoat which hardly suffers e.g. from hydrofluoric acid. The acid is repelled by the film (top half of photo), and the writer walks away.

Further benefits from

films
• Shatter retainment upon glass breakage, injury prevention up to EN 12600 (pendulum test), Emergency exit, passenger protection • Glass strengthening up to anti-bandit performance to EN 356 (ball drop test), bomb blast protection up to GSA Level 2 • UV protection for furniture, exhibits, paintings, sunlight allergy patients • Combinable with privacy, glare, solar, RF/EMI, screening, low-E, and decorative features
Why seek preventive action?
• A replacement of today‘s low-E and laminated glass panes would be much more costly than just changing the film. Unfilmed glass, when etched or scratched, may otherwise bring losses in value and customer acceptance, and the Graffiti Scene could be encouraged to continue its activities.

Applying

protective films can save considerable money, as only the film needs to be replaced while the costly glazing system underneath is left intact in most cases.
