Bullet Resistant Plexiglass and Bullet Resistant Glass Film - Dispelling (Dis)Information on Both
Bullet Resistant Plexiglass is a term frequently used when referring to other bullet resistant plastics such as polycarbonate or acrylic. Plexiglass known for it's shatter resistance is often thought, and very wrongly, to be bullet resistant. Bullet resistant plexiglass does not exist and no one should ever use plexiglass when attempting to make a bullet resistant window.
Bullet resistant glass film is another frequently requested material that does not exist. Althought many glass film products are available that add tremendous strength to windows for shatter and puncture resistance. As of yet, no one has developed a bullet resistant glass film that can be applied to a window to make it bullet resistant. Again, no one should attempt to use a shatter resistant film on a window with the idea of making it bullet resistant. There is no such thing as a bullet resistant glass film.
