Because it's thicker than standard window film, Armorcoat actually makes glass stronger and more resistant to breakage. Incredibly strong, optical-quality polyester, high-grade ultraviolet inhibitors, and special laminating and mounting adhesives is what makes Armorcoat... exceptionally tough. Once installed to the inside surface of glass, the special mounting adhesive forms a molecular bond, strengthening the overall integrity of the pane. Armorcoat provides an effective and non-obtrusive defense against intruders, accidents, explosions and weather-helping to save lives and protect your property. 1, record 5, English, - Armorcoat%20security%20film
