The name says it all – Armorcoat is a thick, optically clear barrier film that is retrofitted to the inside of windows to reinforce glass around-the-clock, helping to hold it safely in place upon impact should a bomblast occur. Armorcoat is made from only the highest quality materials, such as tough, high tensile polyester and ultra-strong mounting adhesives – available in thickness ranging from 4 to 14 Mil (.004” to .014” or 100 to 350 microns) and offered in clear and solar control versions. Plus, stronger glass resilience can be achieved with attachment system options. Solarshade uses the Wet Glaze Attachment System shown on the right.
Attachment System
This method used for enhanced glass retention secures the safety film to the window frame with a structure sealant, silicone adhesive (similar to caulking). The safety film is first installed to the glass as a daylight installation and then secured to the frame with a structural sealant - Dow 995 is one of the products commonly used. Sealant is applied around all four edges of the film, overlapping the film and touching the frame to create a bond between the film and frame. This method is also referred to as a chemical attachment system
Armorcoat has passed some of the most stringent government and consumer testing. Also popularly referred to as glass fragment retention, anti-shatter film and Mylar, Armorcoat is the preferred protection product among home and business owners, and property managers worldwide.
