Safety Film
Safety film is composed of incredibly strong, optical-quality clear or
metallized polyester, high-grade ultraviolet inhibitors, special laminating and
mounting adhesives, and scratch-resistant coating. The product is retrofit to
interior glass surfaces for glass breakage protection. When events such as
natural disasters, vandalism or bomb blasts cause glass to break, the film’s
flexible construction and pressure-sensitive mounting adhesive help hold the
shards on the film. This reduces the potential for personal injury and property
damage. Safety film is also referred to as anti-shatter film, glass fragment
retention film, blast mitigation film and Mylar.
Bekaert’s safety film is
available in thickness ranging from 4 Mil (.004”) to 14 Mil (.014”) – with
thicker films offering greater protection. Solar Gard Armorcoat is available
in all thickness, offered as either a clear or metallized safety film. Select Panorama films are offered
as a 4 Mil and 8 Mil upgrade.
