Safety security Films in Class of Their Own Safety films for your protection! Made in the USA, Security safety films are incredibly tough and are relied upon throughout the world to protect lives and property from shattered glass. Security safety films are the result of years of research, development and field testing under the most stringent conditions. Manufactured to meet the high standards demanded by government authorities and industry alike, the range of Security films has been developed to suit a variety of applications. State of the Art Technology The processing plant for films in San Diego, California, is among the most modern in the world and employs manufacturing technologies well in advance of its main competitors. Furthermore, Security products are continually being subjected to various tests by leading independent research organisations in the USA and Europe.

Tested to Meet Australia Standards for Safety

Security safety films have been tested to meet Australian Standard 2208 – 1978 Safety Glazing Materials for Use in Buildings (Human Impact Considerations) and incorporate a hard coat scratch-resistant finish which surpasses both ASTM 1044 – 86 Resistance of Plastic to Scratch Abrasion, and ASTM 1003 – 61 Haze and Luminous Transmittance of Plastics. This ensures durability, and because they also reject 99% U.V. light Security safety films protect curtains, furniture, carpets and valuable retail stock from fading.

Performance Under Pressure

An impact test was devised by the James Cook Cyclone Testing Station at Townsville, Queensland, to simulate the effect of flying debris during a sever tropical cyclone. Although the glass was shattered by the impact, the safety film kept the glass fragments intact and in the window frame.

High Impact Human Safety

Glass doors, floor to ceiling windows, and glass walls are a feature of many modern homes and buildings. Such architectural highlights however, can be potentially hazardous – particularly to children running, playing or riding push-bikes.

In human impact situations Allcool Security film retains shattered glass to minimise cutting and piercing injuries.

The Ultimate Test of Strength While most homes and businesses will never be subjected to anything as extreme as a bomb blast, the following tests underline the phenomenal inherent strength of Security safety film, and the benefits it provides under normal living and working conditions. Explosion Proof Security Security safety films have been tested at the Bomb Data Centre by the Australian Federal Police. Using 6mm float glass without Security film, the explosion caused the glass to shatter and travel with such force that any persons in the vicinity would probably have received fatal injuries, and property damage would be enormous. The same explosion test carried out with Security film fitted demonstrated an impressive result as the glass was completely retained in the window frame with no possible chance of injury or damage to property.

Clear 100 Micron Security safety film was tested by the C.S.I.R.O. to Australian Standard 1530.3 - 1982 Early Fire Hazard Properties of Materials.   Index Result Ignitability 0-20 7 Spread of flame 0-1 0 Heat evolved 0-10 0 Smoke developed 0-10 3 The index is the performance scale for each test. The lower the result, the better the performance.

Stays Cool Under Fire

When fire breaks out inside a home or office it relies on increasing amounts of oxygen to sustains its growth. However, when Security safety film is applied to ordinary glass the risk of shattering is greatly reduced, thereby minimising fire damage.

Protection Around the Clock

Security safety film fitted to plate glass shop windows makes rapid smash and grab theft unlikely. It normally requires several hard hammer blows to crack the glass, and several more to produce an opening large enough to reach through, or permit entry.

Tinted Allcool Security Films

We also offer sputter-coated Security safety films which, in addition to protecting your home or business, give the added benefits of solar control films – stopping up to 70% of the sun’s solar energy. That means your home or office will stay cooler and you’ll save money on expensive energy bills.
