Protection for Glass

Mirror Safety Backing

POLIFILM PROTECTION's shatter protection films make mirrors tougher and less fragile during production. They ensure product quality and protect users: If the mirror glass is damaged during processing or everyday use, shatter protection films keep the glass fragments in place, preventing sharp edges forming, thereby ensuring injuries are effectively prevented.

A flawless mirror surface  

Commercially available mirrors consist of a flat piece of glass with a delicate reflective coating and a thin layer of protective paint applied to the back. Shatter protection films from POLIFILM PROTECTION reliably protect the mirror´s delicate coatings from scratches and other damage throughout the entire lifetime of the product. At the same time, they prevent moisture from penetrating the treated surface and detaching the protective paint. This makes them perfectly suited for use in damp environments.

Multiple benefits for mirror manufacturers

The wide range of films from POLIFILM PROTECTION provide high-quality, optimised film solutions for any production requirement. POLIFILM PROTECTION shatter protection films are available as either polyethylene, polypropylene or polyester based films. All films are equally suitable for mirrors and painted glass and are compatible with all the most popular mirror protection paints and construction adhesives; all of which are particularly important considerations for mirror manufacturers.
