The Harsh Reality of Mining and Civil Conditions

If you're managing a fleet in mining, civil construction, or remote operations, you already know—glass doesn’t last long.
Windscreens in these environments face constant impact, abrasion, and weathering from:

  • Flying rocks and gravel

  • Red dust and silica particles

  • Extreme UV exposure

  • Harsh cleaning chemicals and high-pressure washing

  • Wiper blade wear from gritty buildup

For many operators, replacing windscreens every few weeks or months has become the norm. But that doesn’t mean it has to stay that way.

The Problem: It’s Not Just Breakage, It’s Visibility

In most cases, windscreens don’t shatter—they degrade. Over time, they develop:

  • Micro-scratches and sandblasting

  • Glare and distortion under sunlight

  • Reduced night-time visibility

  • Visibility issues during audits or pre-starts

And when visibility drops, safety suffers.

The Solution: ClearPlex® Film from FG Screens

ClearPlex® is a USA-engineered windscreen protection film, designed specifically to survive in rugged, high-risk environments.

Installed directly on the exterior of your windscreen, it acts as a clear shield against:

  • Impact from flying debris

  • Surface abrasion from dust and wipers

  • Chemical exposure and UV damage

It’s optically clear, heat-resistant, and field-tested in some of the world’s toughest industrial sites.

Proven Results Under Pressure

Recent independent abrasion testing revealed:

  • 6.5× more abrasion resistance compared to unprotected laminated glass

  • 85% less haze after simulated wear

  • Clearer visibility before and after abrasion testing

ClearPlex® gives your operators a clearer, safer view — critical when operating heavy equipment in active zones or remote worksites.

Why Fleet Managers Are Making the Switch

When you protect your windscreens with film instead of replacing glass repeatedly, you gain:

  • Fewer glass replacements

  • More vehicle uptime

  • Improved driver visibility and safety

  • Lower risk during CoR and site inspections

  • Better long-term fleet budgeting

ClearPlex® is also removable and replaceable — no need to replace the windscreen itself when the film wears out.
