How ClearPlex® Film Improves Safety for Commercial Drivers

Sharper Vision. Safer Roads. Less Downtime.

Fleet Safety Starts with Visibility

When it comes to fleet safety, most operators focus on brakes, tires, and driver training. But one critical component often overlooked is the windscreen—specifically, how clear and distortion-free it remains over time.

Scratches, glare, and sandblasting from road debris can significantly reduce a driver’s ability to see clearly. Over time, even minor abrasions cause optical distortion, increase glare during sunrise and sunset, and lead to driver fatigue—especially in high-mileage or off-road vehicles.

What Causes Windscreen Clarity to Deteriorate?

In the commercial space, especially in industries like mining, logistics, waste, and construction, your glass is constantly under attack from:

  • Fine dust and sand

  • Rock spray from other vehicles

  • Harsh UV exposure

  • Wiper blade abrasion


These micro-damages build up and compromise visibility—long before the glass actually breaks.

ClearPlex® = Safer, Smarter Glass Protection

ClearPlex® is a patented windscreen protection film, originally developed for performance vehicles and now available to Australian fleets through FG Screens.

Once applied, the film acts as a sacrificial barrier, absorbing scratches, debris impact, and wear before they reach the actual glass.

It’s optically clear, UV-stable, and built to withstand the harshest commercial environments.

Backed by Lab Testing

Independent abrasion tests compared standard laminated glass with and without ClearPlex®. The results:

  • 6.5× more abrasion resistance

  • 85% less haze after wear

  • Better optical clarity before and after exposure

Unprotected glass haze: 2.26
ClearPlex®-protected haze: 0.59

This means drivers see more clearly, for longer—and fleets experience fewer safety complaints or issues during inspections.

Why It Matters for Commercial Drivers

Commercial drivers are often on the road for 8–14 hours a day. Add in unpredictable conditions like low light, dust storms, rain, or glare—and clear visibility becomes critical.

With ClearPlex®, your drivers benefit from:

  • Improved clarity day and night

  • Reduced sun glare and distortion

  • Less visual fatigue on long hauls

  • Greater safety margins in high-risk conditions

It’s a simple change that makes a major difference in everyday driving safety.

Fleet Managers: It’s Not Just Protection—It’s Prevention

Most windscreen issues don’t show up as cracks. They start with poor visibility, driver discomfort, and compliance concerns. With ClearPlex®, you’re not just reacting—you’re proactively protecting your drivers and your business.

Protect Your Fleet from the Glass Up

Whether you're managing 4WD utes, mining machinery, or metro logistics vans, ClearPlex® gives your team a clearer, safer view of the road ahead—literally.
