BlastGARD® Fragment Retention Film (FRF) Guards Against the Unthinkable
Enlisted by the US Military. Recruited by Law enforcement and Former Presidents.
For decades, terrorists and extremist groups have known that explosive devices and unprotected glass form a lethal combination. Security experts report that more than 3,000 small bombs are exploded each year in the United States, and this number is expected to increase. Statistically, up to 50 percent of the injuries sustained during an explosion are glass related in nature, and in some cases razor-sharp shards have catapulted up to 3/4 of a mile away from the initial blast zone, endangering pedestrians and inflicting collateral damage to neighboring structures. BlastGUARD (FRS) fragment retention film defends against bomb blasts, explosions and flying glass, BlastGARD glass protection film adheres to the interior side of the window. The high strength, optically clear or tinted BlastGARD (FRS) window film acts like an invisible coat of armor, making the glass stronger and virtually impenetrable to small ballistic attacks. BlastGUARD fragment retention film is virtually undetectable to the human eye and will not alter the appearance of the windows.
In the event of a major explosion, BlastGARD (FRF) fragment retention film helps hold the razor sharp glass fragments together, preventing flying shards of glass from catapulting through the air at lightning speeds. BlastGUARD safety window film also absorbs shock waves, cushioning and dispersing the impact to the window frame, lessening collateral damage to surrounding buildings.
In addition to concerns over terrorist attacks, building owners and managers are looking for affordable solutions to protect employees of processing plants, factories, and refineries from the effects of flying glass during accidental explosions.
Whether intentional or inadvertent, blasts are devastating in terms of property destruction and risk to human life. Sadly, additional losses occur as fallen glass leave buildings unprotected from Mother Nature and opportunistic looters. BlastGARD® mitigates the effects of industrial explosions and acts of terrorism.
