Armorcoat
Safety Window Films Pass Some of the Most Stringent
Testing in the Industry
Armorcoat safety window films have passed some of the
toughest government and consumer testing to provide
effective hurricane window protection, blast mitigation
and overall window safety, making it one of the best
investments for homeowners in high risk areas, commercial
buildings, and government facilities. The resilient
layers of high-tensile polyester, aggressive adhesives,
ultraviolet inhibitors and scratch-resistant coatings
provide exceptional blast mitigation and impact resistant
capabilities – with thicker films offering greater
protection.
Hurricane Resistance
Armorcoat 8Mil safety and security film has met the
most stringent hurricane mitigation tests. These
standard tests, ASTM 1886/1996 Large Missile Impact
Level “C” or 4.5lb missile, ensure
that Armorcoat 8Mil safety and security films offer
the best protection money can buy. Conducted on
3/16” tempered glass with wind speeds up
to 140 mph, these tests give property owners in
hurricane prone areas the peace of mind that only
comes with 24x7 window reinforcements through window
film. Solar Gard Armorcoat 8Mil safety and security
film is ideal for proactively safeguarding glass
in residential properties up to 30 feet in height.
Human Impact Standards
To increase
public safety, lawmakers developed human impact standards
mandating specific strength levels for glass. To
reach the required levels, glass had to be tempered
or heat strengthened, however annealed glass needs
window film or other enhancements to achieve compliance
when necessary. The two most commonly accepted human
impact standards are:
- American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Z 97.1 – testing
involves glass impact of 100 and 150 foot pounds,
the standard most commonly used for residential
applications. Armorcoat films 4 Mil or thicker
passed!
- Consumer Products Safety Commission
(CPSC) Code Federal Regulations (CFR) 1201, category
II – testing
involves glass impact of 400 foot pounds, the standard
more commonly used for commercial applications.
Armorcoat films 7 Mil or thicker passed!
