How To Use Shatter Resistant Film For Safety

by Lizzy Halery American Window Film, Inc.

The ensuing burst will shatter glass windows into razor-sharp, knife-like fragments in case of an earthquake and hurl them at high speed into the air. The outcomes are likely to entail significant harm to the substance, along with potential severe injury or death to those in its course. Luckily there are easily accessible solutions that will minimize these impacts and substantially reduce the likelihood of broken glass damage.


Shatter Resistant Film (SRF) for windows (manufactured by several firms and sold under many brand names) is now widely used in diplomatic missions, government buildings, and trade associations in various sections of the globe. The shatter-resistant film is useful with all forms of blasting, including explosives and mortars, broken gas tanks, and another high-pressure release unintended or intentional accidents. It should be remembered that extreme ground shaking, or residual explosion, can even cut the exposed glass. This can also be recognized that there are no simple ways to save the buildings from getting the impact of massive blasts. SRF, however, is a crucial mitigation agent that may minimize damage and death.

This paper aims to include a field guide to recognize, pick, and mount shatter-resistant film. The article would also describe the danger presented to workers from broken glass triggered by blasting effects, along with a summary of the characteristics of blasting effects on buildings.

Shatter Resistant Film '(SRF) is commonly used in industry to characterize the polyester laminate film, which provides blasts protection. The word 'Blast Protective Film' (including the MOSS tables) has been included, which can be supplemented by the phrase SRF. SRF is a polyester film affixed to glass windows and walls with its bonding agent. The safety efficiency depends on substrate consistency, adhesive glue, film size, glass form, implementation process, and blast properties.

SRF is added to windows in many respects.

The manner it is applied will decide the capacity to withstand pressure and whether the glass panel should stay in the frame or spill out of it. Weak window frames, complete with glass panels, will tear out of their walls and scatter intact around desks or offices. The simplest method of Lens application is called 'Daylight Application;' because the image is cut to and adhered to the size of the bottle. Many implementation types can involve extracting the glass, wrapping the plastic around the edges, and installing it in the frames.

Two batons should be fastened to solid frames to ensure that the glass-covered SRF stays in the frame throughout the whole explosion. This approach, therefore, requires considerably higher costs. SRF shall not be used in compliance with the instructions of the supplier. It may either be accomplished by business employees, or by personnel qualified in its operation.
