Bullet-resistant
materials (metals, kevlar, fiberglass and composites) are
designed to resist penetration from ballistic sources. While
no material can ever be "bulletproof", we can design
glass products capable of withstanding attack from specific
type, caliber, and velocity of ballistic threat. Extensive
tests, which measure the spacing or pattern of impacts and
any penetration (or spalling) in relation of the number of
impacts, help identify the best-possible materials for the
ballistic threat type. Testing procedures performed also consider
temperature ranges to ensure that materials perform as intended
in exterior building applications.
Physical
attacks are often carried out for monetary gain (including
asset theft), political purposes, vandalism, or general business
disruption. In assessing solutions for protection from physical
attack, a building's location, function, and occupants must
all be considered. Test procedures generally involve a series
of attack sequences with varying combinations of time and
number of attackers, and using both human and mechanical test
apparatus.
We
use bullet-resistant UltraGlass®. It is specially designed
to provide protection for armored vehicle and security buildings
against lethal ballistic attack, as well as to provide considerable
physical attack resistance.
The
rigidity and toughness of UltraGlass® offers excellent
security glazing for automotive sidelite applications.
Our
bullet and blast proof vehicle solution provides critical
protection (level I, II, III) with less weight and bulk as
compared to existing common technology. Our testing has also
demonstrated that UltraGlass® has five times tear resistance
and 100 times the stiffness of current common technology.
We can offer you optimum blast and bullet protection at reduced
cost.
