ArmorPlast™ is designed to resist penetration in UL752 Levels 1, 3 and 6. Our retrofit framing allows us to install the ArmorPlast™ into your existing framing to significantly reduce costs and downtime.

Security Specifications
This diagram explains what the various performance conditions represent and depicts the testing chamber used for testing bomb blast mitigation solutions. The room is 10 feet deep, and there is a witness panel on the back wall for detecting debris.
If the window shatters during the test and the failure is significant enough, there will be glass shards embedded in the witness panel.
Protection Level: SAFE Response: Window Glazing does not break. No visible damage to glazing or flame
Protection Level: VERY HIGH Response: Window Glazing cracks but is retrained by the frame. Dusting or very small fragments near sill or on floor acceptable.
Protection Level:HIGH Response: Window Glazing cracks. Fragments enter space and land on floor no further than 3.3ft from the window.
Protection Level: HIGH Response: Window Glazing cracks. Fragments enter space and land on floor no further than 10ft. from the window.
Protection Level: MEDIUM Response: Window Glazing cracks. Fragments enter space and land on floor and impact a vertical witness panel at a distance of no more than 10ft. from the window at a height no greater than 2ft. above the floor.
Protection Level: LOW Response: Window Glazing cracks and window system fails catastrophically. Fragments enter space impacing a vertical witness panel at a distance of no more than 10ft from the window at a height greater than 2ft above the floor.
Window Film Blast Mitigation Test
We used a live “shot” to test the blast performance of a window film system. Riot Glass™ produces blast-resistant glass and framing systems for new construction, as well as security film retrofits for existing glass to remain in place.
Our window films are a cost-effective solution and work very well for blast mitigation, as you can see here.

Shock Tube Test
This video shows an indoor blast chamber for product testing known as a shock tube. Our Riot Glass™ security film was tested by our Los Angeles-based installation dealer, Campbell Window Film.
