Our glass protective film (Tape), a premier scratch resistant film for glass, can be directly applied to glass that has not been cleaned and will help remove any existing dust on it.
It has stable adhering capacity and doesn't need re-applying on site.
The glass protective film is easy to peel away from the glass and leaves no residue that requires cleaning away.
It is available in various sizes and colors for customers to choose from, serving as a versatile self adhering window film.
Holes and lines can be customized for easy tear and cut.
More information
Our glass protective film is mainly used to protect glass from scratch, damage and dirt during transportation and installation. With special formulated adhesive, customized glass protective film could be resistant to hydrofluoric acid dipping in float glass in-plant manufacturing processes with max.width 3300mm.

Glass protective film is no mere “plastic wrap.” It's a precision-engineered product designed specifically to protect glass surfaces from damage during construction or renovation. Manufactured with LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) backing and a specialized acrylic adhesive, these films are durable yet easy to apply and remove.
A key feature of high-performance self-adhesive clear film is its optical transparency. Workers can continue to work productively without the inconvenience of obstructed views or reduced daylight. This makes it easier to control quality on site while ensuring comprehensive surface protection.
Renovation activities such as sanding, grinding, and tool handling often cause minor scratches or scuffs on glass surfaces. A high-quality scratch-resistant film for glass serves as a barrier, absorbing potential damage so the actual surface underneath stays pristine.
Splashes of paint, mortar, or stucco can etch glass permanently, leaving unsightly stains. These films also act as a shield against such debris, saving both time and money during post-construction clean-up.
Many inferior protective films tend to degrade in sustained exposure to UV light, leading to a phenomenon called “glass bake,” where adhesive transfers to the surface, becoming difficult to remove. However, Donlee’s UV-resistant films are designed to combat this by lasting up to 90 days in direct sunlight without leaving behind sticky residue.
Proper application is key to the effectiveness of glass protective film. Follow these steps for a professional result:
Surface Prep: Ensure the glass is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or other contaminants.
Cut to Size: Measure the glass surface and cut the film accordingly, leaving a manageable margin for overlap.
The "Overlap" Technique: Use glass protection tape to seal the edges, creating a 100% coverage, and preventing dirt or water from seeping through.
Smooth Application: Use a squeegee or flat tool to smooth out air bubbles and creases.
Avoid Over-Stretching: Avoid pulling the film tightly during application, as this can cause tension and “pull-back,” leaving parts of the glass exposed over time.
To select the best film for your project, weigh the following factors:
Choose a thickness appropriate for your project. A standard 2-mil thickness film may suffice for light-duty protection, but for construction sites with heavy activity, opt for a 3-mil or even stronger film.
While self-adhesive clear films are popular for allowing light and visibility, blue-tinted films are often used for their higher visibility in a busy construction environment—they make it easier to see which windows are protected and which are not at a glance.
Glass surfaces require “low-tack” to “medium-tack” adhesive levels, ensuring they adhere securely without leaving any residue upon removal. Always prioritize products that advertise “no-residue” removal.
Leaving sticky residue or ghosting on the glass after removal is one of the biggest complaints regarding protective films. To eliminate this risk, Donlee employs a rigorous ISO-certified manufacturing process designed to enhance the bond between the adhesive and film, while preventing transfer.
In addition to internal testing, every batch of self-adhesive plastic film for windows undergoes UV heat simulation to replicate exposure under direct sunlight. This additional testing ensures that Donlee’s protective film maintains its integrity and pulls off cleanly, protecting the finish of your glass without unnecessary cleanup.
1. How long can I leave the film on the glass?
Donlee's UV-rated glass protective film can remain on surfaces for up to 60 days without damage or residue formation. Longer durations are possible with specialized UV-blocking products.
2. Can I use this on "Low-E" glass?
It is highly recommended to consult with the glass manufacturer before applying the film. Low-E glass with heat and UV-reflective coatings can retain more heat, potentially causing the adhesive to bond more tightly than desired.
3. Is the film waterproof?
Yes, the film provides effective protection against rain, moisture, and even pressure from power washing.
