Application

Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET is used in applications where light weight, penetration resistance and anti-spalling are desired attributes. Applications for Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET include:

  • Bullet resistant glazing
  • Intrusion resistant glazing
  • Tornado resistant glazing
  • Skylights
  • Architectural glazing.

Description

Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET is a two layer composite structure of PET/hardcoat. The hardcoat is highly durable, chemically resistant, and virtually indistinguishable from glass. Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET provides superior lightweight anti-spall properties to glazing structures.


The product is highly scratch resistant, chemically resistant, very durable and offers superior optical quality. Consult literature for further details and test results.


The PET and hardcoat help provide an inner shield to protect occupants from glass spalling and lacerations. Spalling is the term used to describe the action of glass splintering and flying inward after the glazing is struck by an object or bullet from the outside. Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET helps create a protective barrier between people and glass. Because Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET laminates are glass/plastic all of the best features of glass are combined with those of plastic. The result is a glazing which is very lightweight, thin, and strong. 


Features and benefits:

  • No spalling: Anti-spalling feature of Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET composites helps provide safety to occupants of buildings, trains or autos when an object impacts the glass side of the glazing. 
  • Weight reduction: Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET laminates only require one lite of glass, making them lightweight.
  • Stronger: Significantly higher penetration resistance with thinner glass vs. any other comparable laminated or monolithic glass constructions.
  •  All the benefits of standard laminated glass: UV protection, noise reduction, IR control when combined with special films or coated glass.
  • Excellent optics: Glass + Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET composites meet all the automotive optics requirements.
  • Glass-like durability: Highly abrasion, chemical and scratch resistant. Outstanding weathering.
