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. |
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 the
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.
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. Independent Armorcoat
dealers and installers are experienced professionals who can recommend the
right Armorcoat film for your application. AluCraft

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. |
