Why Protect your Employees?
The biggest asset that your business is your employees. What is the cost to replace your employees? What is the cost not to protect your employees from the effects of violence in the workplace? Nowadays institutions are implementing much more higher levels of safety and security in their facilities by adding bullet resistant barriers, doors, millwork, and wall armour in order to ensure the safety of their business and to provide a sense of peace of mind for their highly valued employees. Bear Glass has recognized this and is able to provide the highest standards of safety for its clients.
How do you make bulletproof glass?
Traditional bulletproof glass is made from alternating layers of glass and plastic, where the plastic is simply a thin film of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) . Newer, stronger kinds of bulletproof glass use a sandwich of glass and toughened plastic made of polycarbonate or acrylic glass with the thick glass and plastic layers separated by thinner films of various plastics (known as inter layers), such as PVB or polyurethane.
To make simple PVB-based bulletproof glass, the thin PVB film is sandwiched between the thicker glass to make a laminate, which is heated and compressed so the plastic melts and begins to bond to the glass. Often this process happens in a vacuum to prevent air becoming trapped between the layers, which makes the laminate weaker and affects its optical properties (distorting the light that passes through). The unit is then fully “cooked” at a much higher temperature) and pressure in an autoclave (a kind of industrial pressure cooker). The main difficulty with the process is ensuring that the plastic and glass layers stick together properly with no air trapped between them, and ensuring the autoclave’s heat and pressure doesn’t distort the plastic so it becomes difficult to see through.
Where is bulletproof glass used?
Bulletproof glass comes in all shapes and sizes to give different levels of protection in different situations. You’re most likely to find it in places like banks, where the tellers typically sit behind thick bulletproof windows and use bulletproof drawers to exchange paperwork and money with customers. Generally speaking, the thicker the glass and the more layers it has, the more energy it can absorb and the more protection it will give. The only problem is, the thicker you make bulletproof glass the heavier and darker it becomes. Making bulletproof glass thicker also makes it more opaque, because struggles to get through all those extra layers.
