MULTIPACT®

Safety glass

 

The word “safety” can mean many things, but thanks to European standards, these meanings have been clearly defined.  These are the classifications:

  1. User safety

This refers to the glass’s resistance to the impact of a soft body (i.e., a person), its break pattern and ability to produce significant cuts.  It can be related to the definition of what until now was known as “physical safety,” that is to say, what harm can come to a person due to an unforeseen impact with the glass.

  1. Anti-assault

Safety against assault is one that offers protection against deliberate attacks, such as assault by throwing objects, personal assault, burglary, etc.
Anti-assault glass may break when hit, but remains in place and therefore acts as a retardant by not allowing anything to get through.

  1. Bullet-resistant

This type of safety provides protection against assault with a firearm, be it a single- or multiple-mass projectile depending on the kind of weapon (pistol, revolver, shotgun) and calibre.
Like anti-assault glass, this kind of glass shatters when it slows down the projectile by absorbing its energy into the fracture and deformation of the glass itself.

  1. Anti-explosion

This concept refers to glass that is resistant to the pressure of an explosion and the shock of the expansive wave, protecting people from the harm they can cause.
Anti-explosion glass shatters and deforms to absorb the energy generated by the explosion.
It is necessary to establish different levels of protection, since the intensity of an explosion is different in each case.
