The liquid glass product is made of titanium dioxide nano-particles which provides a strong protection against superficial scratches, water and even against falls that may break the display.

Originally developed for the aviation and aerospace industry, the nanotechnology works by closing microscopic wells on the phone glass display to significantly enhance its strength.
Applying the product is very simple as well. Users first need to clean the surface of the phones thoroughly before applying the liquid glass to their smartphones screen. The product then is spread evenly and slowly on the display using a cloth.
