Two constructions on one series. EPU gives a harder, glass-like surface that sheds fine scratches; TPU stays the economical choice for curved everyday coverage. Both arrive blank and flat, so the cutter produces the outline from a template.
The two groups take the same sheet stock and the same cutter setup. What changes is the top layer, and that is what a customer notices after a month of use.
The soft, economical group. It follows a curved edge and covers a device range from one box of flat sheets. Fine scratches do not disappear and the surface can feel tacky in humid conditions.
A composite sheet with a harder, glass-like feel. Fine surface marks fade back, the coating resists fingerprints, and the film resists yellowing over a longer service life. It is the upgrade group in the series.
Both groups are cut from a blank sheet against a device template, so stocking either one does not change the machine, the template library or the way an order is quoted. The decision is about the surface the customer lives with.
Six families share the same TPU sheet. The suffix names the finish or the construction, not a different thickness or a different machine setup.
| F500 | Clear, high definition |
|---|---|
| F500B | Anti-blue light |
| F500M | Matte, anti-glare |
| F500K | Antibacterial surface |
| F500R | Pressure-resistant construction |
| F500S | Privacy, narrow viewing angle — clear and matte versions |
Sheet format, cutting parameters and pack quantity for this group are the same as the rest of the range; see the film range for the common sheet and ordering terms.
Eight codes combine the EPU composite with a finish or a plated variant. They are listed here as a table because they share one construction rather than eight separate products.
| F500R-AS | Clear, high definition, pressure-resistant |
|---|---|
| F500BR-AS | Anti-blue light, pressure-resistant |
| F500MR-AS (HD) | Matte, high-definition base |
| F500RS-AS (HD) | Privacy, narrow viewing angle |
| F500R-AS (AF) | Clear, electroplated finish |
| F500MR-AS (AF) | Matte, electroplated finish |
| F500R-Plus (AF) | Clear Plus, electroplated version |
| F500MR-Plus (AF) | Matte Plus, electroplated version |
The finish letters are shared across the whole film range. The extra letters in F500 SKU names separate the reinforced, antibacterial and plated variants.
| HD / M / B / S | Clear, matte, anti-blue light, privacy |
|---|---|
| AF | Electroplated finish |
| AS | Pressure-resistant construction |
| R | Reinforced variant |
| K | Antibacterial surface |
| Plus | Plated version of the base film |
The same letters appear on F300. See the full code table on the film range page.
F500 is not pre-cut to device models and there is no roll width to quote. The cutter takes one flat sheet at a time and cuts the outline from a template, so a single box of stock covers a whole device range.
Check cutter widths before ordering wider sheets, or read how the commercial side works.
No. It is a composite soft film with a harder, glass-like surface. It still feeds into the cutter as a flat sheet and bends around a curved edge, which a rigid glass protector cannot do.
The construction is different, so set the material parameters once for each group and save them. Both use the same flat-sheet feed and the same template library, and neither requires a different machine.
Yes. Tell us the codes and the sheet sizes you want and we will quote them together. The 100 sheet minimum is counted across the order, not per code.
AF marks an electroplated finish, not an anti-fingerprint coating. F500R-AS (AF) and F500R-Plus (AF) are the plated variants of their base films.
No. Sheet availability differs by code and is confirmed on the quotation. We do not publish one sheet size as universal across the series.
