What's that plastic film that comes on electronics called?

Post by george_graves »

You know when you go buy an alarm clock, and there will be that sheet of soft plastic film on the screen that you'll remove? What's that called? I want to buy some

What is it called? Is it static - is that how it stays? Or is it applied with a liquid that evaporates? What liquid is used?

Thanks.

(I'm looking for the real thing, or something as cheap as the real thing - not cell phone/mp3 player protective film, and not kitchen cling wrap, not window tint, ect..)

You...are good! Thanks. It's so much easier to find stuff when you have a name for it!
