Popularization of the hardness of glass protective film in the market

Glass is popular material and the glass type film has made great breakthroughs in details and materials, from the past 0.4mm thickness to the current 0.1mm thickness, from the past flat angle to the edge and the current 2.5D arc edge, tempered glass film It is constantly improving the experience of people using the film.

Many smartphones now use Corning Gorilla Glass. Even Corning Gorilla Glass has a hardness of only 6.5, which is close to the threshold of quartz particles, but it is only close, and cannot reach 7. Therefore, if the iPhone is not filmed, it will be scratched by keys made of certain alloys; it will also leave small scratches due to friction with ordinary sand.

At present, most of the market is marked by pencil hardness. This is the key, the 9H hardness of the glass film is not 9 in the Mohs hardness, but the 9H hardness of the pencil.

Merchants all claim that their glass has reached "9H" . As I said above, this 9H actually refers to the pencil hardness. No matter how hard a pencil is, it can't be as hard as metal, otherwise you can't use a metal pencil sharpener to pin a pencil. That is to say, any piece of glass can reach more than 9H. Therefore, the publicity point of 9H is just to attract attention.

Of course, in addition to insuring the phone after a fall, the screen protector has a wider and more important purpose, that is, its anti-scratch function, scratches and bumps are inevitable in daily life. , the mobile phone is inevitably scarred, and it is like a war-damaged version of the mobile phone after a long time, which really affects the appearance, so many people will choose to buy a protective film to protect the mobile phone screen.
