Bullet-Resistant Polycarbonate Panels — Transparent Security Glazing Panels

Product Description

Overview
Our polycarbonate bullet-resistant panels are designed for specified ballistic applications. The applicable ballistic standard, threat level, tested construction, thickness and certification should be confirmed for each project. See our Ballistic Engineering Guide for project-selection considerations. Designed for critical infrastructure requiring superior security without sacrificing visibility, these panels are constructed using a advanced multi-layer composite of Polycarbonate (PC) and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). This fusion offers an optimal balance of proven bullet resistance, exceptional optical clarity, lightweight properties, and outstanding surface durability.

Key Features

• Ballistic performance: Applicable UL 752 requirements and tested threat levels should be confirmed for the selected construction. Performance depends on the complete tested system, including material construction, thickness and installation.

• Exceptional Abrasion & Scratch Resistance: The inclusion of a dedicated TPU layer and/or a hard-coat surface treatment provides superior resistance to scratching, scraping, and repeated cleaning, ensuring long-term clarity and durability even in high-traffic environments.

• Multi-Layer PC & TPU Composite Construction: The core of our panel is a proprietary lamination process that bonds multiple layers of polycarbonate with TPU interlayers. This technology significantly enhances impact absorption, optical quality, and delamination resistance compared to standard PC panels.

• Lightweight & Structural Ease: Lower weight than comparable glass-based constructions may reduce structural load and simplify handling; the actual weight difference depends on the tested construction, thickness and project design.

• High Optical Clarity: Offers excellent light transmission and minimal visual distortion, ensuring clear, unobstructed visibility for secure yet open communication.

• Superior Impact Strength: The inherent toughness of polycarbonate provides immense resistance to blunt force impacts, maintaining structural integrity and preventing dangerous spall or fragmentation.

• Weather & UV Stability: UV and weather performance depend on the selected grade, surface treatment, exposure conditions and project specification; outdoor suitability should be confirmed for the intended application.

Primary Applications

This versatile ballistic panel is ideal for a wide range of maximum-security and demanding applications, including:

• Correctional Facilities: Visitor booths, control stations, guard posts, and interior security windows.

• Military & Security Installations: Sentry posts, observation towers, perimeter security checkpoints, and armory windows.

• Financial Institutions: Teller windows, ATM enclosures, cash handling rooms, and loan officer offices.

• Retail Environments: Jewelry stores, luxury goods retailers, pharmacies, and convenience store counters.

• Corporate & Government: Reception desks, embassy visa windows, cashier offices, and monitoring stations.
