Security Glass
Security glass is designed to provide enhanced protection against forced entry, ballistic impact, and other security threats. It is composed of multiple layers of glass and interlayers, such as polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), which are bonded together under heat and pressure.
Applications:
- Banking and Financial Institutions: ATMs, teller windows, secure areas.
- Retail: Display cases, storefronts, jewelry counters.
- Government Buildings: Embassies, consulates, secure facilities.
- Residential: Entry doors, windows in high-security areas.
- Transportation: Armored vehicles, public transport security partitions.
Key Features:
- Forced Entry Resistance: Provides protection against attempts to break through the glass using physical force or tools.
- Ballistic Resistance: Able to withstand ballistic impacts from bullets or projectiles, depending on the specific grade.
- Blast Resistance: Mitigates the effects of explosions by absorbing and dispersing energy.
- UV Protection: Some variants offer UV filtering properties to protect interiors from UV radiation.
- Sound Insulation: Helps to reduce noise transmission, enhancing privacy and comfort.
Breakage Pattern: Security glass is engineered to resist breakage and maintain integrity under attack. Depending on its specific purpose, security glass may exhibit different breakage patterns:
- Laminated Security Glass: Holds together when shattered due to the interlayer, maintaining some level of protection even after impact.
- Tempered Security Glass: Offers increased strength and shatters into small, granular pieces upon impact, reducing the risk of injury from sharp shards.
- Bullet-Resistant Glass: Designed to absorb and deflect bullets while maintaining structural integrity.
