About Anti Graffiti 4 (AG-4)
Anti Graffiti 4 is a clear 4 mil 3M film that protects the exposed glass surface from routine scratching, abrasion, and acid-etching damage. The film is meant to take the abuse first, preserving the underlying pane when the damage is limited to the sacrificial layer.
Philadelphia uses include SEPTA-adjacent storefronts, Old City restaurant windows, transit shelters, and vestibule glass where repeated marking is more likely than high-impact security threats. It keeps the glass looking clear while adding a replaceable surface layer.
AG-4 is thinner than heavier safety films, so it should be discussed as surface protection, not forced-entry prevention. Damaged film can be removed and replaced more practically than etched glass, but it does not make glass immune to vandalism.
Choose AG-4 for scratch and graffiti exposure where optical clarity matters. Heavier safety or security films are better when the concern is impact resistance or delaying forced entry.
