Ballistic glazing system · UL 752 Level 7

BallistiMAX.
UL 752 Level 7 laminated ballistic glazing.

A laminated ballistic glazing system tested against .308, 5.56 NATO, 12-gauge slug, and 9mm. The BallistiSHOCK reactive layer keeps the inner face intact for occupants and directs residual energy outward, away from the occupied side of the opening. Deployed in schools, sanctuaries, government receptions, and memorials.

Field test footage.

A field demonstration of the BallistiSHOCK reactive layer. The laminate holds. Residual energy is directed outward — away from the occupied side of the opening.

How it works

How the BallistiSHOCK layer works.

Ordinary bullet-resistant glazing absorbs and traps. The laminate soaks the round and the building takes the hit on the inside. BallistiMAX absorbs, and the BallistiSHOCK layer directs residual energy outward — away from the occupied side of the opening. On high-speed footage of a 5.56 rifle-round impact, secondary fragments exited the strike face at roughly 1,700 feet per second. The inner face held. The people on the occupied side stay protected.

This outward-directed fragmentation may temporarily incapacitate an attacker standing at the glass. The priority, always, is the occupants.
