Latest company news about The mystery of touch screen hardness - how to choose the most suitable protection solution?

In daily life, due to the fact that GG touch screens are made of glass material, we often worry about the screen being scratched or damaged when using touch screen devices. As an expert in touch screen manufacturing, Xinlilai Touch Technology Co., Ltd is here today to uncover the secret of touch screen hardness, helping you make wiser choices and better protect your touch screen.
 

The hardness of a touch screen mainly depends on its surface cover material. The most common material on the market currently is tempered glass, which, after special treatment, can achieve a hardness of 6-7 on the Mohs scale, equivalent to being able to resist scratches from everyday metal objects such as keys. The GG touch screens produced in our factory have undergone strict 9H pencil hardness testing to ensure good scratch resistance and enhance the protection of the touch screens during daily use.
 

But did you know? The same tempered glass, different processing techniques will bring completely different user experiences. The chemical strengthening process we use forms a dense compressive stress layer on the surface of the glass, which not only increases hardness but also enhances impact resistance. The GG touch screens processed by this process is not prone to cracking even when pressed hard.
 

For special usage environments, such as outdoor equipment or industrial scenes, we also recommend customers to choose GG touch screens with special coatings. Anti glare coating not only reduces reflection, but also enhances surface hardness; And the oil repellent layer can prevent fingerprint residue and keep the screen as new for a long time.
