Solar Gard® Armorcoat® clear film comes in 50, 100, 175 & 200 micron. These films have excellent optical clarity. Thicker films are available for extreme blast and security applications.
3M™ Clear Safety and Security Film is multi-layered to resist tearing and is available in three grades; Ultra S150 (51 micron), Ultra S400 (102 micron) and Ultra S600 (152 micron). During 2015 3M plans to discontinue Ultra S150 and add a 200 micron product to be called S800. These products are ideal for security applications.
The reason behind the 3M naming is that the American safety tests had 150 ft/lb and 400 ft/lb strength test, hence the Ultra S150 and S400 film names. Subsequent product development has added thicker films dubbed S600 and S800
Safety & Security films are used for these purposes
Available in a range of thicknesses from standard safety film to bomb-blast protection, security film will allow the glass to with stand an amount of impact, serving to slow down and deter intruders, whilst also providing protection against accidental damage.
In the event of breakage security film will hold the glass together, keeping the broken glass together and in the frame, making it hard for potential intruders to obtain unauthorised access to your premises. By ensuring the glass breaks in a safe fashion, an application of security film also provides a safety solution by preventing broken glass falling in on itself and causing potential injury to those inside.
As well as providing a protective layer to your glass, security film can add an additional security element by blocking vision into premises. By obscuring vision through glazing valuable equipment or possessions can be hidden from view, ensuring they don’t become a target for opportunistic criminals.
