Can MOSFLEX™ be used on glass?
Yes. MOSFLEX™ is developed for float glass, tempered glass, laminated glass and insulated glass units. It is applied over the finished pane as a continuous liquid film, protects it from cement and mortar splash, paint and plaster overspray, metal dust, welding spatter and handling abrasion, and is peeled off in one piece at handover.
On glass the failure mode is unforgiving — a stained or scratched pane usually has to be replaced rather than polished out, which is why a seamless film with no taped edges matters.
Float Glass
Large uncut sheets are handled repeatedly before they are cut and installed.
Tempered Glass
A finished, non-reworkable panel — any damage means replacing the whole unit.
Laminated Glass
Edges and faces exposed during cutting, storage and installation.
Insulated Glass Units
Sealed assemblies that arrive finished and must stay that way until glazing.
The Problem
What Damages Glass
On glass, the failure mode is unforgiving: a stained or scratched panel usually cannot be polished out, it has to be replaced. Applying a continuous, seamless film over the whole pane — rather than taped sheets with open seams — means there is no gap for splash to reach the surface, and no adhesive line to clean off afterwards.
Alkaline splash from adjacent concrete and masonry work is one of the most common causes of permanent glass staining on site.
Painters and plasterers working near installed glazing leave deposits that need scraping — the moment scraping starts, so does the risk of scratching.
Grinding and welding near the facade throws hot particles that can embed in the glass surface.
Repeated handling in fabrication, packing and installation leaves fine scratches and contact marks.
The Approach
How MOSFLEX™ Is Used Here
Apply after the finish is complete
Coat the surface once it has reached its final condition — by brush, roller or airless spray — so the film protects a finished face, not an unfinished one.
Leave it through the following trades
The cured film takes the dirt, splashes and light abrasion generated by the work happening around it.
Peel at handover
Remove the film in one piece as part of your handover sequence. The surface underneath is preserved and the cleaning requirement is reduced.
Trial before you commit
Finishes within this group vary between suppliers. Always confirm adhesion and clean removal on a trial area of the actual surface before full application. Read the full application guide.
