Clear 175micron (7Mil) 2/Ply Safety / Security Film
Certified to:
- BS EN 12600 Class 1B - ‘Glass in Building – Pendulum Test – Impact Test Method and Classification for Flat Glass’
- BS 6206 1981 Class A - ‘Impact Performance Requirements for Flat Safety Glass and Safety Plastics for use in Buildings’.
- ANSI Z97.1 Class A - American National Standard for Safety Glazing Materials used in Building-Safety Performance Specification and Methods of Test.
Applications:
Used principally to increase glazing safety and security in Buildings and provide Blast Mitigation
Can also be specified for providing enhanced / increased glazing safety and security generally wherever there are concerns about providing a safer and more secure environment.
Protecting People and Property:
Clear 175micron (7Mil) 2/Ply Safety / Security Film is also
recommended and specified by the UK Home Office Scientific Development
Branch for Blast Mitigation for windows in buildings.
Enhanced Protection – Protecting People and Property:
The Window Film has recently become one of the first products to
submitted to bomb-blast protection testing to a new international safety
glazing standard - ISO draft 16933 Glass in Building Explosion Resistant
Security Glazing.
The standard is the internationally recognised specification for those who have a requirement to provide the highest level of security and protection to glazing in particularly high risk areas. The exercise involved subjecting a fully glazed window to an explosive blast equivalent to 100kg of TNT at a distance of 31 metres. The window featured 6mm float glass protected with CL175 micron twin ply laminate security film secured into the frame with a specialist edge retention system.
Following conclusion of the testing the film and combined edge retention system achieved a classification in accordance with ISO and UK Home Office Scientific Development Branch standards and an equivalent Level 3A GSA standard of Low Hazard and High Protection.
