Toughened film and hydrogel film are two of the more common products in modern smartphone protective film. They both protect the mobile phone screen by attaching a film to the surface of the screen to reduce the impact of scratches and bumps on the screen. However, there are some obvious differences between tempered film and hydrogel film in terms of material, characteristics and usage. The following is a detailed description of the differences between tempered film and hydrocolloid film from various aspects.

Firstly, from the material point of view, tempered film is made of tempered glass material. Tempered glass is a material with high hardness and abrasion resistance, usually 9H hardness, which makes it more resistant to scratches than ordinary glass. This makes the tempered film protect the screen without affecting the display of the phone screen. Hydrogel film, on the other hand, is made of a special polymer material, usually a film-like material, with a certain degree of flexibility and pressure resistance, not easy to break.

Secondly, from the transparency point of view, as the tempered film is made of glass material, it has better transparency and clarity, and will not affect the display of the mobile phone screen. While the hydrogel film may have certain problems in terms of transparency, which may lead to a certain blurring of the mobile phone screen or light reflection problems.

Third, from the installation method, the tempered film is usually easier to install, just stick it on the mobile phone screen, easy to use and convenient, and more solid after installation. On the other hand, hydrocolloid film may need to be immersed in water before sticking it on the screen, which may be troublesome in removing air bubbles and adjusting the position.

Fourthly, from the point of view of protection performance, tempered film has a better protection function due to the harder material, and the protection effect on the mobile phone screen is more outstanding. It can effectively prevent scratches and impacts that lead to breakage of the mobile phone screen. The protective function of the hydrogel film is relatively weak, can only play a certain protective role, can not completely prevent the damage of the mobile phone screen.

When choosing between toughened film and hydrogel film, consumers should choose according to their actual needs and preferences. If you need better protection and transparency, it is recommended to choose toughened film; if the touch and anti-scratch effect is more important, you can choose hydrogel film.
