The film is made from a strong, tear-resistant polyester material that is coated with a special adhesive. When applied to windows, it forms a protective barrier that helps hold glass fragments together in the event of breakage or impact. This can help prevent glass shards from scattering and potentially causing injuries or property damage.
Here are some key features and benefits of 3M Safety and Security Window Film:
Impact resistance:
The film provides increased resistance to impact, making it more difficult for intruders to break through windows.
Shatter resistance:
In the event of breakage, the film helps hold the glass fragments together, reducing the risk of injury from flying shards.
Protection against forced entry:
The film creates a strong barrier that can deter and delay attempted break-ins, giving occupants more time to react or authorities to arrive.
Enhanced safety:
The film can protect occupants from accidents involving shattered glass, such as during severe storms or earthquakes.
UV protection:
Many variants of 3M Safety and Security Window Film offer UV protection, blocking a significant amount of harmful ultraviolet rays. This can help reduce fading of furnishings, flooring, and artwork while also protecting occupants from UV exposure.
Energy efficiency:
Certain versions of the film are designed to provide insulation benefits, helping to reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter, which can lead to energy savings.
