The document discusses a material called DPM Shield, which is an aliphatic film developed to protect exterior lenses and components in vehicle environments. It can withstand harsh conditions like sand storms and prevents surface etching. The film protects lenses in the field, prevents etching of polycarbonate covers, decreases the need for replacement, and keeps light output constant longer. It is easily changeable in the field at low cost. The film comes pre-cut to fit each part, can be easily kitted for application, and does not require special skills to apply. It increases the life of lenses and reduces repair time.
