I don't know about 'industrial' touchscreens. I have a Micortouch CRT with more than 10 years on it. The screen looks good still. It is running QNX and the calibration is stable (very good for a CRT). It is just a commercial monitor in a box that attempts to protect it. The only contamination issues I have seen is sometimes the bottom space on the front between the box and the monitor face will collect chips. The touchscreen does not understand it is supposed to ignore the spurious touches. I have four other machines with other touchscreens ie: ELO LCD and Magictouch (Keytec) LCD add on kit. These run just fine in the shop environment. Keyboards and mice are another issue. These need to be protected and kept clean. I have no information about types of touch technology. My main problem is getting them to work with Linux in the first place. It seems as if every new version of Ubuntu requires TIME and EFFORT. UGH! I will say my experience shows the USB variety to be much easier to set up. As for anything 'proof' I don't believe I have seen this before. I have seen 'resistant' but not 'proof'. I haven't worried about either. HTH Stuart
