How Do Safety and Security Window Film Actually Work?
In a normal situation, when a glass windows break, the glass shatters into pieces with some falling to the ground and others remain attached to the frame depending on the velocity of the impact on the glass. In extreme situations, the loose pieces may fly off and potentially lethally hurt someone or cause further serious damage.
Safety, Security Window Film is made up of a thin, micro-layered, tear-resistant PP film that is applied over the surface of the windowpane glass and is designed to hold the glass in place when it breaks. Rather than separating into individual pieces, the windowpane glass stays in place. The film also provides extra strength and resilience to the windowpane glass which can help stop it from breaking in the case of less severe impacts.
