Safety and security window films are polyester films that are applied to glass & glazing in order to hold them together if the glass is shattered (similar to laminated glass ). The main difference between film and laminated glass is that the film can be applied to the glass or glazing after manufacture or installation, i.e. it is a retrofit product. These films are used widely all over the world, they can be found on trains, buses, cars, and buildings.
Safety and security films are used where there is a potential for injury from broken glass (such as glass doors or overhead glazing). These films can be applied to toughened, annealed or laminated glass. They are available in various thicknesses, from 100 micron (or 4 mils) through to 300 micron + (12 mils). The film thickness is selected for level of protection desired and the dimensions of the glass pane.
SolaFilm recommend 100 micron film for glass up to 3 mm and 200 micron film for glass over 6 mm.
These films can be applied for security applications, where a delay of forced entry is desired. The Performance of these films is affected by adhesive bond strength, thickness of the polyester, quality of application and window structure/frame.
The films are adhesive coated to bond them to the glass. The better safety films such as ours,are those which are smooth-coated, as they have far superior optical clarity.
Safety and security films can have components added, such as for solar control & decorative effects. However, as mentioned before, it is their physical properties that allow them to be used in various applications. We offer Clear Safety Films in 100 micron, 175 micron, 200micron and 300 micron (bomb blast).
