Industrial Touch Screen Monitors

A touch screen display can be found nearly everywhere. You interact with a touchscreen monitor constantly; they have become very commonplace in our daily lives. Cell phones, ATM’s, kiosks, ticket vending machines, manufacturing plants and more all use touchscreen monitors. Touch displays enable the user to interact with a computer, control system or device without the use of a keyboard or mouse.

GUIDE TO CLEANING & DISINFECTING TOUCH SCREENS

Touch screens will obviously require cleaning and disinfecting due to the high number of contact and touch points. Special care must be taken not to damage the touch screen display face, especially for 5-wire resistive touchscreen monitors. Their surface can easily be permanently damaged by corrosive cleaning agents (bleach, ammonia, etc.) or abrasive materials (dirty cloths, steel wool). Please see our monitor cleaning guidelines, and monitor COVID-disinfecting guidelines for more specific details. These guidelines will help ensure you keep your touch screens clean, and safely disinfected from germs or viruses.
