What causes unwanted damage to glass?
3

• Accidental damage, mechanical wear and tear
• Deliberate damage, vandalism, Tagging/Graffiti

4

• Wear shows typically in lifts or glazed areas
  (escalators, cash registers, aquariums, glazed
  galleries, sound proofing walls, stadium glazing,
  buses, trains, airports, railway stations,)

5

• Passage areas and revolving doors are also often
  exposed to big and hard baggage items or
  consistent abrasion.

6
Accidental damage, wear and tear

• LLumar Graffiti Shield protective films can
  mitigate accidental damage to glass surfaces.

7
Accidental damage, wear and tear

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

8
LLumar Graffiti Shield

• Deliberate damage
• Vandalism (Hooligans, Demonstrators, Vandals)
• Graffiti (territorial mark and sign of
  reputation within the Scene)

9
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.

10
Vandalism

• Damage is often not limited to the glass surface.
  There is merchandise, furniture, equipment and
  sometimes even human lives to be protected.

11

• 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.

12

• Spraying with lacquer cans
• Scratching with hard-tip items
• Etching with acid pens

13

• 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.

14
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.

15
Spray Graffiti

• LLumar Graffiti Shield 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.

16
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.

17
Scratch Graffiti

• LLumar Graffiti Shield can keep the scratching
  tools from touching and harming the glass surface.

18
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.

19
Scratch Graffiti

• Removing the protective film should leave an
  intact glass surface behind.

20

• Mainly in America, there have been cases where
  the tags on the glass were created with
  acid-filled felt tip pen shells.

21
Etch Graffiti

• LLUMAR Graffiti Shield 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 LLumar 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

27
Why seek preventive action?

• A replacement of todays 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.

28

• Applying LLumar Graffiti Shield 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.
