 Safety Security Film
|
Armorcoat Superior
Protection 24 Hours A Day
Because it's thicker than standard window film, Armorcoat
actually makes glass stronger and more resistant to breakage.
Incredibly strong, optical-quality polyester, high-grade
ultraviolet inhibitors, and special laminating and mounting
adhesives is what makes Armorcoat safety films exceptionally
tough. Once installed
to the inside surface of glass, the special mounting
adhesive forms a molecular bond, strengthening the overall
integrity of the pane. Armorcoat provides an effective and
non-obtrusive defense against intruders, accidents, explosions
and weather - helping to save
lives and protect your property.

With
the ever-present threat of terrorism, high-level
government agencies have mandated increased building
safety and Armorcoat has been instrumental in providing
that. You'll find these films are installed on some of
the highest security buildings in the world, including
the Pentagon |

Protection From Flying Glass & Water
Damage
Dangerous glass shards caused by accidents or explosions can
harm family members or employees. Hurricanes, tornadoes,
earthquakes and wind storms can also send glass flying through
the home or workplace. Armorcoat safety and security films
help hold shattered glass together, reducing the threat of
serious injuries caused by deadly flying shards. When broken
glass is held in place during a storm, additional protection
from water damage can be experienced. Armorcoat is strong
protection you can count on. |

Armorcoat
safety and security films help deter
would-be thieves by withstanding blows
that would shatter untreated glass. |

Protection From Burglars
When a burglar breaks a window, he can gain access
to your home or business within seconds. Armorcoat
helps deter would-be thieves by withstanding blows
that would shatter untreated glass. Police have
credited Armorcoat with deterring thefts at department
stores, computer outlets, clothing chains and numerous
other retail, commercial and residential locations.
Armorcoat provides protection you can't be without.
Protection Against The Sun
Although all Armorcoat films block about 98
percent of damaging ultraviolet, the tinted versions
can reject up to 77 percent of the sun's heat. This
solar energy rejection performance capability helps
protect your valuable furnishings from premature
fading, improves occupant comfort, reduces energy
bills and enhances the appearance of your home or
office. Few products provide so many benefits. |

Armorcoat Tested
& Proven
Armorcoat films have been tested and proven by
independent researchers and consumer safety groups
worldwide.
Bomb Blast
Simulation
Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA), an independent
research and product-testing firm, conducted
high-explosive tests to evaluate the capability of
Armorcoat window film to reduce the hazards of flying
glass shards during an explosion. ARA detonated the
equivalent of 500 pounds of TNT just 60 yards from
framed glass samples with and without Armorcoat film.
The unprotected
glass shattered and projected upon impact, while the Armorcoat-protected
glass remained safely within the frame.

Storm
Simulation
To simulate heavy wind load and wind-borne debris caused
by storms, Armorcoat was put through a series of impact
testing performed by Hurricane Engineering & Testing
Inc.:
-
Small Missile
Impact Testing - simulates airborne roof gravel.
Ten, 8mm steel ball bearings are shot directly at a
standard sliding glass door with Armorcoat safety
film bonded with a standard structural sealant at
130 feet per second (88 MPH). Armorcoat passed the
test meeting Miami-Dade Protocol, SBCCI (Southern
Building Code Congress Int'l) and FBC (Florida
Building Code) codes.
-
Large Missile
Impact Testing - simulates 90-100 MPH wind zone. A
four-pound 2-by-4 is shot directly at an untreated,
standard sliding glass door and a standard sliding
glass door with Armorcoat safety film bonded with a
standard structural sealant at 40 feet per second
(27 MPH). Armorcoat passed the test meeting FBC
code.
-
Cyclic Pressure
Testing - simulates hurricane force winds as high as
175 MPH. After the impact testing the Armorcoat
system is put through a series of 9,000 cycles of
negative and positive pressure to prove its
endurance after breakage. Armorcoat passed the test
meeting Miami-Dade Protocol, SBCCI and FBC codes.
Armorcoat On The
Job
