3M™ Safety and Security Window Films – Safety Series

The 3M Safety and Security Window Films, Safety Series are transparent security window films designed to help protect people and property from the hazards associated with broken glass. These films are applied to the interior surface of glass windows and doors and help hold broken glass fragments together in the event of impact, vandalism, natural disasters, or accidental glass breakage.

The Safety Series also provides 99% UV protection, helping reduce UV-related fading of furniture, flooring, displays and interior furnishings. The films can also provide added protection against scratching, graffiti and other forms of glass vandalism.

Technical Specifications

Specifications vary according to the selected Safety Series film, such as S40, S70, S80 or S140.

Glass Safety & Shatter Protection

One of the main advantages of 3M Safety and Security Window Film is its ability to help retain broken glass. When glass breaks, the film can help hold fragments together rather than allowing them to scatter as easily.

This can help reduce the potential hazard from flying glass caused by:

• Accidental impact
• Natural disasters
• Vandalism
• Forced entry attempts
• Other glass-breakage incidents

The Safety Series is designed as an economical way to upgrade existing glazing for improved safety and security.

Security Enhancement

The Safety Series can provide an additional layer of protection to glass windows and doors. When used together with the appropriate 3M Impact Protection Attachment System, overall security performance can be improved, including applications involving forced entry and glass- breakage protection.

Important: The window film is not bullet-resistant and does not make glass completely break- proof. Its purpose is to help retain broken glass and, in appropriate systems, help delay forced entry.

99% UV Protection

The 3M Safety Series blocks up to 99% of harmful ultraviolet radiation. This can help protect interior furnishings and displays from fading caused by UV exposure.

It can be particularly useful for:

• Office interiors
