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.

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.
