ArmorProtect®
ArmorProtect® burglary and attack-resistant/ institutional laminates offer improved detention security and provide unobstructed vision while eliminating the confined look of bars and metal screens. Typical applications include penal institutions, detention centers, psychiatric hospitals and police stations. In addition, institutional laminated architectural glass provides increased protection in other high-security locations such as embassies, computer centers and sensitive research centers.

ArmorProtect® Plus
ArmorProtect® Plus prolonged attack-resistant security glazing laminates contain the toughest plastics available, often containing multiple layers for maximum forced-entry resistance. Typically, these products are used in jails and other secure establishments. ArmorProtect® Plus includes a family of multi-ply laminates containing one or more core layers of polycarbonate, often called glass-clad polycarbonates. Polycarbonates offer the strongest available clear plastic and have 250 times the impact strength of glass.

ArmorProtect™® Max
ArmorProtect® Max are lightweight laminates having multiple layers of polycarbonate containing no glass and offering extreme levels of forced-entry protection. These products also offer ballistic protection, and because there is no glass on either face, there is no spalling. Sheets of aliphatic urethane are used to bond the layers of polycarbonate permanently together. The external faces of polycarbonate are protected with a mar-resistant hard coating to provide durability. They are not recommended for external use.
