WetGlaze System
The SafetyShield Wet Glaze System utilizes Dow Corning 995 Structural Silicone to create a bond that connects the filmed glass to the existing window frame. During a natural or manmade disaster, the Wet Glaze System is designed to maintain the structure of the shattered glass while the Dow Corning 995 reduces the shearing effect along the edges of the window frame.
This system may be specified for use in Blast Mitigation, Hurricane Protection and Anti-Intrusion applications.
LifeLine™ System
The SafetyShield LifeLine System employs synthetic cords that span the width of a filmed window. The system is designed to arrest the inward travel of the filmed glass after it has sheared at the edges during the positive phase of a blast. The cords used in this system are designed to elongate or stretch in order to absorb this energy until the negative phase pulls the shattered glass from the structure, therefore reducing the risk of injury to the occupants of the building. The design of this system also lends itself to retrofit applications where there is an existing film application.
The SafetyShield LifeLine System is primarily specified for use in Blast Mitigation applications.
SafetyShield FrameGard™ System
The FrameGard has been specifically engineered to keep the filmed glass within the frame during an event. The primary advantage of this system is during installation the film is wrapped behind the FrameGard, which is then attached to the window frame with screws. This system also utilizes a rubber gasket attached to the FrameGard, decreasing the shearing effect along the perimeter of the window. These are major advantages over the other systems. This system also allows engineers to precisely determine torque settings for each individual application, which can then be tested after the installation. Another advantage of this system is that it can be reused in most cases, where only the glass has been damaged.
