How is anti-graffiti film different from security film?
The major difference is the adhesive. Security films are not meant to be removed and have an aggressive adhesive that is designed to hold the glass together in the event of breakage. The adhesives in anti-graffiti films are designed for easier removal.
Security film is meant to be installed on the interior surface of the glass and only has UV protectant in the adhesive layer of the film. Since anti-graffiti films are meant to be used outdoors, they have a UV coat on the exterior of the film in addition to the adhesive to prevent premature breakdown of the film.
Although some “safety” films come in thicknesses as low as 4-MIL, the most commonly used “security” thickness is 7-MIL, about 25% thicker than the most commonly used anti-graffiti film.
