What are anti shock films and tempered films? How to choose the right one?

Tempered glass screen protectors are specifically designed to protect screens, while anti shock films are designed to prevent containers from exploding. What are the differences between them, and how should one choose between them?

Firstly, anti shock films for smartphones can increase the screen's impact resistance by 5 to 10 times. Their primary function is to protect glass screens from shattering due to impact. In simpler terms, anti shock film adds a protective layer to the glass, primarily preventing the glass from shattering and keeping glass fragments in place during collisions with external objects, thereby safeguarding personal safety.

Anti shock film offers unique advantages in terms of impact resistance, scratch resistance, and wear resistance compared to standard PET or PE films, and its price naturally reflects this. As an anti shock film for smartphone screens, when selecting one, it is essential to consider its light transmission, wear resistance, and breathability (static adhesion) to avoid issues like bubbles or watermarks during application. In summary, even non-professionals can achieve a neat application result when applying anti shock film.

Tempered glass film is a type of safety glass. It has excellent wear resistance and a more comfortable tactile feel. The tactile feel of tempered glass film is similar to that of the phone screen, with a Vickers hardness of 622 to 701. Tempered glass is a type of pre-stressed glass. To enhance its strength, chemical or physical methods are typically used to create compressive stress on the glass surface. When subjected to external forces, the surface stress is first neutralized, thereby increasing load-bearing capacity and enhancing the glass's resistance to wind pressure, temperature fluctuations, and impact.

If the tempered glass film meets the standards, it is virtually indistinguishable from the original screen. When in use, swiping the screen is smooth, and sweat or oil from the fingers does not easily leave marks on the screen. After using it for some time, there are almost no scratches on the screen.

II. Which is better: anti shock film or tempered glass film?

Features of tempered glass film

1. High strength, scratch-resistant, and impact-resistant.
2. Glass thickness of 0.2mm to 0.4mm, making it almost imperceptible when applied to the phone.
3. High-sensitivity touch and smooth glide. The glass surface undergoes special treatment, providing a smoother feel and more fluid operation.
4. Tempered glass screen protectors use an electrostatic adhesion method, allowing anyone to install them easily without creating bubbles.
5. Using the electrostatic adhesion method, they can be reused multiple times without leaving any residue on the phone.
6. High transparency and ultra-clear display with 99.8% light transmission, enhancing, protecting against the harmful effects of electromagnetic waves on the human body, improving visual effects, reducing eye fatigue during prolonged use, and better protecting vision.
7. The ultra-hard nano-coating is waterproof, antibacterial, and fingerprint-resistant, and can be easily cleaned even if contaminated by foreign substances.

Features of the anti shock film

Designed to protect the surface from external impacts, it includes an impact absorption layer to prevent shattering during a fall.
1. Effectively prevents scratches and wear on the LCD screen;
2. The surface is anti-static and resistant to dust accumulation;
3. Using advanced coating technology, it does not leave fingerprints when touched directly;
4. Features special anti-reflective and glare-reducing functionality, eliminating 98% of external reflective light and strong glare;
5. Exhibits excellent resistance to weak acids, weak alkalis, and water; can be reused after cleaning with neutral detergent;
6. Excellent re-peelability, no adhesive residue, effectively preventing residual adhesive from remaining on the LCD screen surface.

Regarding the differences between anti shock film and tempered glass film, as well as which is better between the two, we have introduced the relevant knowledge to you here. Regardless of which type of film you choose, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is important to select the appropriate product based on your specific needs.
