Bomb Blast Testing
Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA), an independent research and product-testing firm, conducted high-explosive tests to evaluate the capability of Solar Gard Armorcoat safety and security film to reduce the hazards of flying glass shards during an explosion. ARA detonated the equivalent of 500 pounds of TNT just 60 yards from framed glass samples with and without Solar Gard Armorcoat film. The unprotected glass shattered and projected upon impact, while the Armorcoat protected glass remained safely within the frame. See this dramatic testing footage for yourself!
