Bullet resistant glass applications

Glass-clad polycarbonate ballistic products are designed to provide high levels of ballistic protection with no-spall performance. Spall is the glass fragments that come off the “witness” side of a security glazing unit when it is subjected to physical or ballistic assault. Our ballistic products prevent potentially serious injuries that can be caused by spall.

Our line of ballistic products are constructed with one or more glass plies toward the “attack” or threat side and a polycarbonate laminate toward the “witness” or safe side. The glass plies are bonded together with a PVB interlayer and the glass is bonded to the polycarbonate with a high performance TPU interlayer. This monolithic construction provides an unsurpassed level of ballistic protection.

The glass-clad polycarbonate, uses the glass layers to flatten and slow the bullet, and the flexible polycarbonate to absorb the force of the impact. The result is a superior product that offers you an efficient barrier against high-powered firearms handguns and rifles. GuardVue products are also designed to provide a good level of physical attack protection.

ALLTEX Glass also provides a full line of products to reinforce non-glass areas in order to provide the same level of bullet resistant protection.
