Contamination

Definition, practical relevance and related concepts.

Definition

Unwanted material on or under the film. Surface deposits such as insects differ from particles trapped during fitting.

Why it matters

Surface dirt may be cleaned with approved methods; embedded contamination needs the installer’s assessment. Do not puncture the film or escalate to strong chemicals without identifying the problem. Prompt attention to surface deposits reduces avoidable exposure.
