Learn how multi-layer glass and polycarbonate composites arrest projectiles through strike face mushrooming and viscoelastic shockwave dissipation.
Read Glass Tech GuideWhy Zero-Spall Certification Matters
When a high-energy rifle round impacts the outer glass ply, destructive shockwaves radiate through the composite. Without a specialized spall shield, razor-sharp secondary glass splinters are ejected inward into vehicle cabins or bank counters.
Super Safety Solution incorporates a military-grade polycarbonate anti-spall backing with hardcoat optical lamination, ensuring complete projectile arrest with zero interior fragment hazard.
