Polycarbonate security glass

Polycarbonate can be coated with an abrasion-resistant layer which affords it increased
protection from solvents, weather, and UV light. Businesses with an interest in maintaining
high natural light transmission should be aware, however, that polycarbonate glazing has a
noticeable tint that allows a bit less than 80% of available light to pass through.
Most modern bulletproof systems are fabricated with a laminated polycarbonate solution
that is used in conjunction with an acrylic core with poly cap sheets due to polycarbonate’s
poor light transmission and tendency toward crazing. But polycarbonate sheets alone can
have a place for those businesses concerned with forced entry attacks

POLYCARBONATE STRENGTH
TSS fabricates polycarbonate sheets tested to UL Levels 1-3.
Level 1:
Ballistic polycarbonate that passes the Level 1 requirements will be able to withstand
not only forced entry but an assault from a typical 9mm handgun used in an armed
robbery.
Level 2:
Windows that pass the Level 2 test will weather an attack from the more serious .357
Magnum, making them appropriate for institutions like banks and government offices
with heightened security threats.
Level 3:
Polycarbonate tested to Level 3 standards can withstand shots from a .44 magnum and
most other handguns. Most often used in larger buildings with a higher number of
employees or risk factors.
