3M™ Safety and Security Window Films are composed of a transparent and weather stable polyester film, scratch resistant surface and a strong acrylic adhesive. The films high tensile strength and elongation at break increases resistance of the glazing system to impact and pressure. The films also significantly reduce the transmission of UVA and UVB rays which are the main cause of fading.
3M™ Safety and Security Window Films, Safety Exterior Series, are designed for use on the exterior surface of windows, but can also be used for interior applications. They provide effective protection from injuries to persons or damage to items caused by fragments of broken glass. In the case of glass breakage the fragments are held together by the strong acrylic adhesive. In the case of spontaneous glass breakage of toughened glass which can occur due to the expansion of nickel sulphide inclusions present in the glass, the Safety Exterior product family provides protection to pedestrians by retaining the shattered glass in the frame (some situations may require frame attachment). Additionally, the films offer superior protection against vandalism on glass such as scratching and graffiti attacks. 3M Safety Exterior films are certified impact resistant according to EN 12600.
