Choosing SAINT-GOBAIN SULLY for its armoured glass
is simply choosing an industry leader as it is a part of large group
dedicated to manufacturing of glass for cars worldwide.
Therefore, SAINT-GOBAIN SULLY takes advantages of the SAINT-GOBAIN
SEKURIT's expertise in standard automotive glass in addition to
its high technologies developped for the aircrafts and trains markets.
Our armoured glass for vehicles are basically composed
of glass, plastic interlayers, and polycarbonate, all those materials
being laminated together to achieve the adequate protection against
the ammunitions it is designed to defeat.
A generic cross section of our bullet resistant glass/polycarbonate
make-up is the following :
This combines the complementary benefits of glass
and polycarbonate : glass provides the necessary resistance to bullet
penetration, and its superior resistance to abrasion and chemicals.
Polycarbonate is able to deform itself to absorb the residual impact
energy and therefore avoid glass spalling into the vehicle during
the impact. The inner side of the polycarbonate ply features a protective
hard coating which provides resistance against abrasion and chemical
attacks.
Light weight
Such glass/polycarbonate assemblies are the thinnest and the lightest
available on the market. This ensures an easier mounting of the
glass into the vehicle and also extends the vehicle service life.
Bullet
resistance
Saint-Gobain Sully has designed an extensive list of lightweight
bullet resistant make-ups defeating the major international ballistic
standards. Please refer to our ballistic
make-up page to find the adequate glass ensuring your desired
protection level.
Optics
Our glass is produced to meet the most stringent
optical clarity and quality levels, according to the major car manufacturers'
specifications. Each single manufactured glass is inspected against
distorsion during the manufacturing process and before delivery,
to verify it meets our customers's specifications. Please refer
to our quality
assurance and
inspection home page for more details.
