Proven Performance Under Extreme Conditions
The effectiveness of PROFILON® was demonstrated to the United States Marines at Quantico, Virginia, where it was applied to a standard 6mm annealed storefront or office window. A one-pound (approx. 500g) charge of C-4 plastic explosive was detonated just five feet (1.5 meters) from the treated glass. The result? No penetration and 100% retention of glass fragments—proving PROFILON®’ s unparalleled ability to withstand high-impact forces.
Unmatched Blast Resistance
In technical terms, the peak incident velocity of this blast exceeded 34 PSI (23,900 kg/m²) with a shock front velocity of 1,900 ft/sec (580 m/sec). In simple terms, PROFILON® offers superior protection that goes beyond conventional window films. For environments where explosive threats exist, replacing standard glass with costly composite alternatives is often recommended. However, PROFILON® provides a cost-effective and efficient alternative to high-risk areas, reinforcing existing glass without the need for expensive replacements.
A Legacy of Protection
Developed over 30 years ago for glass fragment retention, PROFILON® has been actively safeguarding buildings worldwide. From commercial storefronts to high-security facilities, this proven technology passively provides long-term protection against forced entry, explosions, and other glass-related threats.
