Panzerglas

Überblick über Panzerglas

Bulletproof glass is a type of special glass that is produced by bonding together with multiple layers of glass and interlayers together. It can minimize the direct and indirect damage to the human body caused by explosions or shootings. This type of glass is widely used in some places that need a high level of safety protection.

 

What Is the Manufacturing Process of Bulletproof Glass?

Bulletproof glass is commonly made of multiple pieces of glass and high-strength organic sheets bonded together by transparent adhesive materials. We use high-quality float glass and undergo a long period of chemical strengthening treatment to increase its impact resistance by 3 to 8 times. We then use a laminating process to bond the chemisch gehärtetes Glas zusammen mit Materialien wie PC/PVB zu einem kugelsicheren Verbundglas.

Anwendungsbereiche von Panzerglas

Panzersicheres Glas besteht aus mehreren Glasstücken und Zwischenschichten. Je dicker das Glas und die Zwischenschichten, desto sicherer ist das Panzerglas. Eine Erhöhung der Anzahl der Glasstücke und Zwischenschichten kann auch die Schlagfestigkeit von Panzerglas effektiv verbessern. Verschiedene Anwendungsbereiche haben unterschiedliche Anforderungen an die Spezifikationen und Leistung von Panzerglas.

 

Financial institutions such as banks usually have high security requirements, so almost every bank chooses to install bulletproof glass for windows to enhance security. We recommend using 33 mm-thick bulletproof glass for the counters and 27 mm-thick bulletproof glass for the bank's exterior wall glass.

 

Jewelry store counters can use 18 mm-thick bulletproof glass, which can withstand impacts from sticks, hammers, and other similar weapons. If there is a requirement to resist gunfire, thicker bulletproof glass for store glass is required.

Laminated Polycarbonate Glass

Laminated polycarbonate is a popular choice for commercial and government applications. It consists of several layers of polycarbonate plastic and glass that are laminated together under high pressure and heat. The polycarbonate core is extremely tough and flexible, helping to absorb and disperse the energy of bullets. This type of bulletproof glass is lightweight, making it ideal for mobile applications such as armored vehicles and police cars.

 

Acrylic Bulletproof Glass

Acrylic is a strong, clear plastic that resembles glass but is much more impact-resistant. Acrylic bulletproof panels are typically a single thick sheet of acrylic, often used in settings where weight is a concern. While it can stop lower caliber bullets, acrylic tends to crack or deform under repeated impact, which makes it better suited for indoor windows, transaction counters, or low-risk environments.

 

Glass-Clad Polycarbonate (GCP)

This hybrid option combines the strength of polycarbonate with the hardness of glass. Glass-clad polycarbonate is known for offering a higher level of protection, particularly against high-powered rifles and repeated gunfire. It’s often used in government buildings, military checkpoints, and other high-security installations. It also provides better scratch resistance and longer life than standard polycarbonate layers.

 

Tempered Glass with Interlayers

In some cases, tempered safety glass is used in combination with specialized interlayers to enhance bullet resistance. While not fully bulletproof on its own, this type can provide partial protection and is often included in multi-layer security systems. It’s commonly seen in banks and commercial storefronts where visibility and aesthetics are important.

From lightweight acrylic to high-security glass-clad polycarbonate, each type of bulletproof glass serves a specific purpose. Choosing the right material depends on the level of threat, weight constraints, and budget—making it essential to understand the properties and applications of each type before making a decision.

Bulletproof Glass FAQs

 

Is bulletproof glass really bulletproof?

Not entirely. The correct term is bullet-resistant glass because no glass is completely "bulletproof." Different types are rated to withstand specific calibers or repeated shots, but extreme or high-velocity rounds can eventually penetrate. It's about slowing down or stopping bullets long enough to prevent harm or buy time for a response.

 

What is bulletproof glass made of?

Bulletproof glass is made from layers of polycarbonate, acrylic, and traditional glass laminated together. Depending on the type, it might be a thick acrylic sheet, a glass-polycarbonate hybrid, or a multi-layered laminated system. The combination helps absorb and disperse the energy from a bullet’s impact.

 

How thick is bulletproof glass?

The thickness varies based on the level of protection. Light-duty glass (for handguns) might be around 1 to 1.25 inches thick, while heavy-duty glass for rifle protection can be up to 3 inches or more. More layers = more protection.

 

Can bulletproof glass stop all types of bullets?

No. Each type is tested and rated according to specific UL 752 or NIJ standards, which define the caliber, speed, and number of rounds it can withstand. For example, Level 1 stops small handguns, while Level 8 or higher is required for automatic rifle rounds.

 

Where is bulletproof glass used?

It’s commonly used in banks, embassies, government buildings, armored vehicles, cash-handling counters, jewelry stores, airports, and even private homes in high-risk areas. Anywhere protection from firearms is necessary.

 

Is bulletproof glass heavy?

Yes, especially the thicker and higher-rated versions. Acrylic is lighter than glass-clad polycarbonate, but higher security often means more weight. That’s why proper framing and structural support are important in installations.

 

Can bulletproof glass be clear and look like regular glass?

Absolutely. Modern bullet-resistant glass can be optically clear, UV resistant, and even tinted or coated for glare or solar control. It’s designed not only for protection but also to maintain a professional appearance.

 

How Much Does Bulletproof Glass Cost

The cost of bulletproof glass varies depending on the level of protection, thickness, size, and material used. On average, basic Level 1 bullet-resistant glass (suitable for handguns) starts around $25 to $50 per square foot. Higher protection levels, such as Level 6 or Level 8 (which resist high-powered rifles), can range from $100 to $500 per square foot or more. Custom installations, framing, and impact-resistant features add to the total cost. While it’s a significant investment, bulletproof glass provides critical security in high-risk environments such as banks, government buildings, and armored vehicles. Always consult certified suppliers for accurate quotes.
