Keeping Touchscreens Clean

Printer-friendly version

Whether it’s sticky fingerprints on the ticket machine or cola spilt all over the information terminal, after a while customers are either so disgusted that they refuse to use a dirty self-service device at all, or humidity and moisture cause the failure of the electronic components inside. Be it surface dirt or an internal defect, this always has a negative impact on turnover, so it makes sense to protect devices accordingly.
 
Depending on the medium used and intended purpose, this is achieved by means of either spray or dip coating, or by simply rubbing a surface protector into glass panels and stainless steel. The advantage of the latter option, which is available from Fourmart, is that it can also be carried out after manufacture, which means that devices that have already been installed can be cleaned and treated at a later date. This protection is available for glass and stainless steel, as well as for various plastics, such as acrylic and other materials. Terminals and slot machines can be protected, as can phone boxes, stamp machines and many other devices, including digital signage screens. There are also solutions that will prevent LED and other electronics short circuiting due to condensation and fluids.
