Impactinator® glass
Impactinator® glass is a product family of special glasses with exceptionally high impact resistance. The special properties of Impactinator® glass make it possible to implement glass solutions that were completely unthinkable a few years ago.
The latest innovation in the world of high-performance glass products. Impactinator® is not just a glass, but a statement of quality, durability, and advanced technological design.
Impactinator® glass is particularly suitable for touchscreen applications and protective glass. We reliably exceed the safety and vandalism requirements of EN62262 IK10 and IK11.
Impactinator® glass is ideal for all applications where impact resistance, weight reduction, image quality and absolute reliability play a central role.
What is IK10 impact resistance
Impact resistance IK10 is defined in the EN62262 standard, which outlines 12 strength classes, from IK00 (the lowest) to IK11 (the highest).
IK10 represents a shock resistance of 20 joules, equivalent to a 5.0 kg object falling from 0.4 meters. We not only meet IK10 but also achieve the extreme IK11 impact resistance.
This higher resistance is typically obtained through laminated glass construction, even at a total thickness of just 5.8 mm. This means our products offer exceptional durability and protection, ensuring they can withstand significant impacts without compromising performance or safety.
Our commitment to quality ensures reliable and robust solutions for various demanding applications.

| IK code | IK00 | IK01 | IK02 | IK03 | IK04 | IK05 | IK06 | IK07 | IK08 | IK09 | IK10 | IK11 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Impact energy (Joule) | * | 0.14 | 0.20 | 0.35 | 0.50 | 0.70 | 1.00 | 2.00 | 5.00 | 10.00 | 20.00 | 50.00 |

Anti-reflective coatings
The use of surface glasses on touch screens primarily places two basic conditions on the glass. On the one hand, high light transmission is required to best represent the display functions, on the other hand, reflections on the glass surface are to be reduced.
Printing
The glass surface of a touch screen offers plenty of freedom for your design and no limits to your creativity.
High-quality printing not only improves the functionality and ergonomics of a touch screen, but can also make its design unique and attractive to potential customers.
Edge processing
The service life of a touch screen is decisively influenced by the quality of workmanship of the surface glass. Among other things, high-quality touchscreens are characterised by the quality and type of the mechanical processing methods of the glass and the glass edge.
