What is ballistic glass?
Ballistic attacks are classified as assaults from handguns, shotguns, or rifles. There are a few concerns one should consider when purchasing or implementing ballistic glass as a protective barrier.
What is ballistic glass?
Ballistic attacks are classified as assaults from handguns, shotguns, or rifles. There are a few concerns one should consider when purchasing or implementing ballistic glass as a protective barrier.
- Projectile Penetration - If the laminate should fail or allow infiltration of the projectile/bullet to the safe side, serious injury and/or death can occur. Ballistic rating levels determine resistance to projectile penetrations.
- Spall - Spalling is when shards of glass break away from the safe 'protection side' of the glass laminate when under attack by bullets or projectiles from the other 'strike side'. Since significant injuries such as loss of vision, or even death can occur from glass spalling, it must be a consideration when specifying or researching the type of ballistic glass needed.

Smartgard BR series
|
A bullet resistant non-spalling laminated composite which incorporates a layer of polycarbonate on the inner protection side of the laminate. This layer is known as the spall shield and is there to protect against flying glass fragments on the protection side of the composite.

Smartgard GCP series
|
A bullet resistant low spalling laminated composite. The protection side of this laminate is a glass layer bonded with a clear adhesive inter-layer to a polycarbonate. Since glass is on the protection side, low-spalling can and will occur. This configuration is known as a glass-clad polycarbonate laminate. This configuration offers a much more durable surface on the protection side to guard against abrasion/scratching and also chemical resistance from cleaners or other agents.
