Security Film is designed to be applied to standard glass panels and, in the event of an attack, hold the glass together enough to deny the attacker easy entry. The conventional safety film is a single or double layer polyester film, with a thick pressure sensitive adhesive on one side of the film, and a scratch resistant hard coat on the other. These films will perform better as the thickness increases. Our standard safety film is 7mm thick, but can go up to twice that thickness.
3M’s Technology Provides the Best Window Security Films
3M Security film has better performance than Safety Film and can be thinner because it utilises micro-layered technology. The micro-layered film differs from conventional films by using up to 42 of layers of material in the same thickness as one layer of a conventional film. Micro-layered films alternate between a ‘stiff’ layer and a ‘gummy’ layer, in order to obtain added performance. The alternating layers not only add strength to the window, they add tear resistance to the film, giving additional safety and security to the window.Typically, safety and security films are applied on the interior of the glass, however, we can also provide specially designed films that can also be applied to the window’s exterior where necessary.
3M Window Safety Films Can Also Provide Sun Protection
