How does Armortex’s Manufacturing Process Deliver Robust Bullet-Resistant Fiberglass Panels?
Bullet-resistant fiberglass panels function as structural composites engineered to absorb and contain ballistic energy under defined threat conditions. Their performance is not determined by a single material property, but by the interaction of fiber quality, resin compatibility, layer sequencing,
How bulletproof glass prevents high-velocity spall – even on failure
Ballistic threats unfold without warning and do not allow for recovery. When bulletproof glass is struck, it must perform immediately, even if it breaks. In high-risk facilities, glazing typically represents both the first defensive surface and the most vulnerable
Preventing secondary injuries with bulletproof glass
The threat of a projectile does not end when a bullet is stopped. In real-world environments where people work inches away from protective glazing, the behavior of the bulletproof glass after impact matters as much as penetration resistance. Single-pane tempered or heat-strengthened glass may offer surface hardness, but it lacks the
What is Low-Spall Bulletproof Glass?
Ballistic glass is commonly assumed to fully protect occupants once a projectile is stopped. In reality, that perception can be flawed. Many ballistic incidents result in injuries even when the bullet is successfully intercepted, because the interior surface of the glass breaks apart under impact. Low-spall bulletproof glass was developed
Protecting Witnesses with Bullet-Resistant Glass
Courtrooms are intended to support open dialogue and fair proceedings. Within this setting, witnesses can face distinct safety concerns due to their visibility and fixed position during testimony, prompting the
Police Station Security Through The Years: A History
Police stations have changed considerably over the last two centuries, evolving in line with shifting risks and the expectations of the communities they serve. As operational demands have broadened, the
Protecting Police Stations: A Guide to Defense Level Selection
Police stations occupy a unique position in the public safety infrastructure. They are open to the community but also house high-risk operations like custody handling, evidence management, and command functions. Their need to be open
Are fiberglass panels useful in a police station?
Fiberglass has long been valued for its strength, light weight, and resistance to wear. Such properties have made it an important material for modern security design. In police stations, fiberglass
