Ballistics-Resistant Glazing

COMBINING KURARAY PRODUCTS IN BALLISTICS-RESISTANT LAMINATES

SentryGlas ionoplast interlayers, Trosifol PVB interlayers and Trosifol Spallshield CPET composites are used in a variety of architectural and automotive applications where resistance to bullet penetration and spall is desirable. When properly designed and manufactured, glass laminates made with these interlayer products can meet ballistics resistance test standards in constructions that are lighter-weight, thinner and more durable than traditional all-glass and glass-clad polycarbonate alternatives.

Several test methods exist for assessing the ballistics resistance of glazing materials. This bulletin lists selected performance levels from three of the most frequently referenced test standards, where tests have been performed showing that Kuraray products can be used in well constructed laminates to help achieve the desired level of ballistics resistance. For each tested construction, the glass laminate design is provided so that you can consider a suitable glass thickness and laminate configuration with which to conduct your own similar testing.
