Armored Glass Resistance and Anchoring

The combination of floated glass, Polyvinyl Butyral, Polyurethane, and Polycarbonate, also incorporates a layer of anti-spall film (Spallshield), laminated during the production process, which prevents the entry of glass splinters into the cabin.

In superior armoring levels (B6 and B7) the glass is manufactured without offset, integrating them into a structure of broadened frames which provide a higher resistance against blast.

In the instance that monolithic glass may not be used due to design or technical reasons, the offset consists of a 22 to 24mm triple laminate (equivalent to a B4 level) which rests within the vehicle's original frame yielding superior resistance characteristics to those of a conventional offset.

In every case, the internal section of the window frame is broadened by one inch (1.0") offering greater overall resistance to a lateral blast.

Armored glass at the cargo area on SUVs is designed smaller than conventional and is anchored on the external part of the opaque armoring, thus creating greater resistance as a whole and preventing their penetration into the cabin upon an explosive wave.

The design of the wide overlap system in every door and window aperture area is conceived with the purpose of avoiding the detachment and penetration of glass, as well as doors and hatch, into the cabin.
