The difference between an ordinary window and one treated with 3M Shatter-Resistant Film was demonstrated conclusively during the British Home Office Trials. These tests were conducted on behalf of the Northern Ireland Government.

In explosions of a high blast pressure (25 p.s.i.) treated glass may leave its frame and travel a short distance into the room. But the particles are held together by the film, reducing the risk of injury. Untreated glass exposed to that pressure fragmented severely. The velocity of those particles has been measured at 150 feet per second.

* Cuts up to 75% of sun heat, reduces as much as 82% of sun glare and absorbs up to 99% of ultra violet rays.

* Reduces excessive heat in summer.

• Reduces glare and eye discomfort.

• Increases aesthetics and day time privacy while not impairing the view.

• Reduces damage and injury caused by broken glass that might result from explosions, vandalism, accidents or violent weather.

• Improves security by making glass penetration-resistant.

• Blocks 98% ultra-violet light to help reduce the sun-fading of interiors.
