Bullet Resistant Polycarbonate

How Bullet Resistant Polycarbonate Saves Lives

Bullet resistant polycarbonate is used in many different businesses, law enforcement, and the military. Inside stores, bullet resistant polycarbonate is used at the counters to protect the clerks from being robbed at gunpoint. If the place is secure to where the crooks cannot cross the counter, the clerk can remain safe for the most part. When the gun is fired, the bullet will not penetrate through the polycarbonate. It will bounce off the protection. Some banks use bullet resistant polycarbonate as well to protect the bank tellers from armed robbery. Law enforcement and the military use bullet resistant polycarbonate on their vehicles' windows and windshields, and there are shields they can hold up to protect themselves when entering hostile gunfire. When faced with gunfire, a bullet can severely injure or kill a person within a matter of seconds. The bullet resistant polycarbonate may be one of the best creations known to the human race because it has saved many lives on numerous occasions.

MAIN PROPERTIES OF MONOLITHIC SHEETS

Monolithic sheets is a material with an excellent combination of physical and mechanical properties, which are retained under various temperature conditions and humidity levels.
 

Polycarbonate sheets are an ideal replacement for traditional glazing materials. They are safe and easy to cut, install and use, almost impossible to break. Due to their low specific weight, polycarbonate sheets can significantly lighten and reduce the cost of the supporting structure in comparison with the structure in which glass is used, contributing to a significant reduction in transportation, handling and installation costs.
 

UV protection

Solar radiation has a detrimental effect on polymeric materials, causing their destruction and causing surface cracking of materials. These small cracks are further enlarged by water, dust and chemicals.

Polycarbonate monolithic sheets of this have a surface with an applied protective layer against ultraviolet radiation, which provides excellent resistance to weathering.
 

Arched glazing

All monolithic polycarbonate sheets are cold-formed into curved supporting glazing profiles. Provided that the bending radius of the sheet is greater than the minimum recommended value, the mechanical stress resulting from cold forming will not affect the mechanical properties of the sheet.

The guaranteed service life of the sheets is 15 years.
