What Is Shatterproof Window Film?
Shatterproof window film is applied to glass to prevent it from shattering and scattering shards in situations like human impact, object collision, or natural disasters. Commonly used in various window sizes, these films come in different thicknesses, with about 50 microns being standard for general windows, and thicker options for larger or thicker glass areas for enhanced security.
Uses of Shatterproof Window Films
Shatterproof window films have diverse applications, including:
1. Earthquake Protection
They help prevent injuries from glass shards during earthquakes by keeping the glass intact.
2. Collision Prevention
These films prevent glass breakage upon impact from external objects.
3. Other Applications
Beyond shatterproof purposes, these films also offer solar radiation control, privacy assurance with color films, and security measures.
Principle of Shatterproof Window Films
Made primarily of PET (Polyethyleneterephthalate), shatterproof window films are transparent and often indistinguishable once applied. They block over 99% of UV rays, reducing indoor fading of floors, furniture, and books.
Types of Shatterproof Window Films
1. Functional Glass Film
Variants include sun control films, milky white films for privacy, and design films for decorative purposes.
2. Anti-Crime Glass Film
Certain films have CP Mark certification for crime prevention, designed to delay unauthorized entry through windows.
