PROTECTION WINDOW FILM
Buildings close to a
potential terrorist target may still be subject to substantial
damage from an attack not specifically directed at them. Damage can
often be more widespread and costly than first thought. Complete
technical systems may have to be overhauled due to glass fragments
contaminating computers and fittings. After the Manchester bomb of
1996, 670 businesses were forced to relocate.
According to Home
Office figures, flying glass causes 90% of all injuries in an
explosion. These projectiles can travel at up to 40 metres per
second. 3M Scotchshield Security Film will not prevent glass
breaking, but it will stop it travelling any significant distance,
thus helping to provide the following benefits:
-
Reduced Personal
Injury
-
Reduced Collateral
Damage
-
Protection of
Expensive Business Assets and Important Documents
-
Ease of Clear Up -
Reduced Expensive Business Downtime
Scotchshield Security
Film can halve the distance that a building's glazing is safe from a
lorry bomb to just 100 metres.
FILMSHEET UK BOMB
BLAST WINDOW FILM TEST TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Filmshield UK working in association with Anglian Technical
Window Films have recently become one of the first
companies to undertake bomb-blast protection testing to a
new draft international safety glazing standard. ISO draft
16933 Glass in building Explosion Resistant Security Glazing.
The standard is shortly to become the internationally recognised specification
for those who have a requirement to provide
the highest level of security and protection to glazing in particularly
high-risk areas.
The exercise, carried out by explosive
testing specialists Advantica at their facility at RAF Spadeadam in Cumbria
involved subjecting a fully glazed window to
an explosive blast equivalent to 100kg of TNT at a distance of 31 metres.
The window provided by Anglian featured 6mm float glass protected with Anglian
175 micron multi-laminate security film
secured into the frame with a specialist edge retention system. Following
conclusion of the testing the Anglian film and
combined edge retention system achieved a classification in accordance with ISO
and UK Home Office Scientific
Development Branch standards and an equivalent Level 3A GSA standard of Low
Hazard and High Protection.
FILMSHIELD UK LTD fully accredited Anglian approved installer
company
Steve Rice as Glazing Director of the UK glass and Glazing Federation, commended
the Anglian Film and edge retention
combination as 'a significant achievement in the development of glazing safety
and security products.
Test carried out on safety window film to stop the hazard of flying glass.
