SECURITY LAMINATES FOR BLAST, BULLET, & FORCED ENTRY PROTECTION
Clear Armor’s security laminate is organized by threat level, ranging from everyday security to riot control to bullet-resistant protection.
LEVELS OF PROTECTION:
Forced-Entry Protection
SL-15 transforms glass panes into burglar-resistant glass by holding damaged glass together upon impact. By delaying forced entry and smash-and-grab attempts, the laminate provides critical time for occupants to react and for first responders to arrive.
Fortifies Existing Glass
SL-15 is optically clear, preserving visibility while strengthening vulnerable glass. This laminate is tested to the “ANSI Z97.1” impact standard.
15-MIL Protection
SL-15 is a heavy-duty 15-mil laminate with a 420-psi breaking strength. This laminate reinforces vulnerable glass doors, windows, and sidelites without glass replacement.
CLEAR ARMOR 31-MIL RIOT CONTROL LAMINATE
SL-31 | RIOT CONTROL LAMINATE
SL-31 is a laminate built for prolonged crowd events, civil unrest, and sustained, targeted attacks.
31-MIL Protection
SL-31 is a 31-mil security laminate that helps keep damaged glass in place under repeated impact. Buyers may call this “riot-proof glass,” but the more accurate term is riot control laminate, which helps delay a breach and supports response protocols. The 31-mil laminate is tested to the “ANSI Z97.1” impact standard for safety glazing.
CLEAR ARMOR BULLET-RESISTANT LAMINATE
BR | ULTIMATE BULLET-RESISTANT LAMINATE SOLUTION
BR is a top-tier protective glass-laminate configuration tested for bullet-resistant performance under specified conditions.
Optically Clear Security
BR strengthens high-risk glass doors and windows while maintaining clear visibility. For banks, government facilities, critical access points, and sensitive entrances, that balance of visibility and protection helps support a broader facility security plan.
One-Way Protection
BR supports one-way protection, helping protect people inside while allowing a defensive response outward when the system is installed for that purpose. Although many buyers search for “bulletproof glass,” the more accurate term is “bullet-resistant laminate” because no product should be described as universally bulletproof against all threats.
Bullet-Resistant Protection
BR protects facilities that need bullet-resistant protection from common handgun rounds. In independent testing, BR met NIJ Standard 0108.01 Type II-A against 9mm on 1/4-inch glass (Intertek) and showed no penetration under UL 752 Level 3 conditions against .44 Magnum on 1/2-inch glass (Element U.S. Space & Defense). The applicable rating depends on the glass type, laminate configuration, and application requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is security window laminate?
Security window laminate is a protective film applied to existing glass that holds the glass pane intact after impact. Laminate strengthens vulnerable glass without having to replace the glass.
What is the difference between SL-15, SL-31, and BR?
SL-15 is the entry-level forced-entry tier, SL-31 is the higher-threat riot control tier, and BR is the bullet-resistant tier.
What is a riot resistant security laminate?
A riot-resistant security laminate is a multi-layer film applied to existing glass to help it resist repeated impact during crowd events, civil unrest, or sustained attacks. Clear Armor’s SL-31 | Riot Control Laminate is built for high threat scenarios.
Is bulletproof glass the same as bullet-resistant glass?
No. Bullet-resistant glass is the more accurate term because ballistic protection depends on the product configuration, test rating, ammunition type, and installation conditions. Many people use “bulletproof glass” casually, but no glass or laminate should be considered universally protective against all ballistic threats.
Does security window laminate go on existing windows?
Yes. Security laminate is applied to existing windows, doors, sidelites, and other glass surfaces. This retrofit strengthens vulnerable glass without replacing the full pane.
What can bullet-resistant laminate stop?
Clear Armor’s BR | Ultimate Bullet-Resistant Laminate Solution protects against common handgun rounds and 00 buckshot. The specific rating depends on the assembly specifications, glass type, and installation requirements.
Review the Right Security Window Laminate for Your Facility
Security window laminate helps transform existing glass into a stronger protective barrier for forced-entry, riot, blast-related, and ballistic threat planning. The right tier depends on your facility type, glass conditions, threat profile, and documentation needs.
