Abstract: A transparent protective polymeric film 10 composite for laying over a surface, typically glass 120, the protective composite comprising a transparent polymeric film layer 11, typically PET, coated on at least one side with a transparent hard coat 12 containing at least 0.04% by weight of a release agent. The film composite hay be formed into a laminate 100 comprising a plurality of sheets of the film composite 110, the sheets being arranged in a stack such that adhesive 13 on one film composite sheet adheres to the hard coat 12 on a underlying sheet, and the release agent reduces the adhesion between the hard coat surface and the adhesive allowing the top sheet in the stack to be peeled off in turn as required.
