Extended Durability for High-use Applications
MicroTouch™ ClearTek™ capacitive touch screens, manufactured by 3M Touch Systems, are the preferred touch solution for applications that require fast and accurate touch performance. The flat capacitive Profile sensor incorporates advanced construction and production techniques that result in a thin, sleek design which provides easy installation into flat panel displays and flat CRTs. The robust touch characteristics of ClearTek are attributed to its transparent overcoat, which significantly increases the physical durability of the surface by allowing it to resist scratches and abrasions. Popular applications include kiosks, ATM installations, point-of-sale, industrial equipment, gaming machines, and vending.

Making the Difference
ClearTek capacitive touch technology provides accurate and sensitive response to the user's touch while offering outstanding durability. A ClearTek capacitive touch screen provides scratch-resistance and contaminant-resistance to dirt, liquids, and harsh chemicals. A ClearTek sensor with Industrial Etch has been tested in a laboratory environment to withstand over 225 million mechanical touches without noticeable degradation to the surface.
