An anti-shatter (AS) coating is a protective technology involving a coating or film that prevents glass from scattering into sharp shards if it cracks. The AS layer holds broken glass together, reducing the risk of cuts and damage to other parts of the device. It is used on touch panels, protective covers and display housings in public transportation, kiosks, vending machines and medical equipment. AS coating can be combined with other coatings like Anti-Fingerprint (AF), Anti-Glare (AG), or with glass-strengthening layers (e.g. tempered or chemically hardened glass).
