  1. ONE WAY GLASSBy:Marcos Muniz

  2. What is it? • Unidirectional Armor • Allows return fire through the glass while protecting from hostile fire • Also available for stationary buildings

  3. What is it made of? • A series of • polycarbonate • acrylic • glass layers merged in a special manufacturing process • Held together by a proprietary compounds of special glue or resin compounds

  4. Benefits • Lighter • small cross section profile • extremely low distortion • clarity level of up to 90%

  5. How does it work • PROTECTIVE SIDE • When bullet strikes the acrylic outer layer, it compresses, strengthens, and absorbs/distributes the energy. • The polycarbonate layer stretches as it dissipates the remaining bullet energy with no full penetration • Spider webbing occurs on impact side, but inside glass remains undamaged • ONE WAY SIDE • Polycarbonate material compresses, acrylic stretches • Bullet passes through soft polycarbonate layer and into acrylic layer which weakens as it stretches • Bullet shatters acrylic, continuing with no loss of velocity or deflection
