Naviglare Bomblast Safety Film GSA-Compliant Maritime Security

Naviglare Bomb Blast Safety Film

GSA-Compliant Security Solution for Maritime Applications

Naviglare Bomblast Safety Film is an advanced security solution engineered with DuPont Mylar® polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a polymer with high mechanical strength, designed to fortify vessels against glass-related hazards in high-risk maritime environments. This 200-micron (8 mil) clear, high-tensile safety film provides critical protection by mitigating the effects of glass fragmentation, safeguarding crews from threats such as piracy and terrorism.

Data Performance

Technical Specifications

• Thickness: 200 microns (8 mil)

• Material Composition: Constructed from DuPont Mylar® PET, a biaxially-oriented polyester film known for its exceptional tensile strength (stress resistance) and elongation at break, offering optimal optical clarity, chemical resistance, and environmental stability.

• Impact Resistance: The film complies with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) standards for blast-resistant glazing, capable of dispersing kinetic energy from high-velocity impacts by undergoing viscoelastic deformation, thus reducing the stress transmitted to the underlying glass and minimizing shattering.

• Tear Resistance: The multi-layered, cross-laminated structure provides enhanced tear propagation resistance, crucial for preventing structural failure under severe mechanical stresses encountered in hostile maritime conditions.

• UV Protection: Integrated with ultraviolet (UV) absorbers, the film blocks up to 99% of UV-A and UV-B radiation, protecting occupants from harmful UV exposure and preventing photodegradation of vessel interiors, including materials sensitive to UV-induced fading.

• Adhesive Technology: Utilizing a high-bond pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) with moisture-cure properties, the film adheres effectively to various glass types, even in high-humidity, saline environments, ensuring prolonged adhesion strength and durability in extreme maritime conditions.

Performance Characteristics

1. Impact Resistance: The film exhibits elastoplastic behavior during impact, allowing it to elongate and redistribute mechanical energy over a larger surface area, thus reducing the likelihood of brittle fracture of the underlying glass.

2. Shatter Resistance: Upon glass fracture, the film’s high interfacial adhesion retains glass shards, preventing secondary injuries from high-velocity glass fragments.

3. Durability: The polymer’s resistance to hydrolysis, UV-induced degradation, and extreme thermal cycling ensures long-term functionality in harsh maritime conditions.

4. UV Protection: The UV absorbers integrated into the film prevent solar radiation from inducing material fatigue or photodegradation, preserving both crew health and vessel materials.

5. Optical Clarity: The film maintains a high refractive index, preserving excellent optical transparency to ensure visibility and situational awareness in navigation-critical environments.

How It Works

1. Application Process: The film is applied directly to the internal glass surfaces using a precision lamination technique, following thorough surface preparation to remove contaminants that could compromise adhesion.

2.Adhesive Mechanism: The film’s pressure-sensitive adhesive reacts to environmental moisture, curing to form a durable bond that resists delamination even under high humidity and salt exposure.

3.Energy Distribution: The film’s viscoelastic nature allows it to flex upon impact, converting kinetic energy into strain energy distributed across a larger glass surface, reducing the probability of catastrophic glass failure.

4.Fragment Retention: In the event of glass failure, the film’s cohesive strength prevents the release of sharp fragments, forming a barrier that maintains the integrity of the glazing system.

5.Maintenance: The film can be maintained with standard non-abrasive cleaning agents, with no degradation in its mechanical or optical properties over time.

Applications

• Commercial Vessels: Increases safety for crews and passengers by preventing glass fragmentation without obstructing visibility.

• Luxury Yachts: Offers discreet, high-performance protection without compromising aesthetic design.

• Military and Government Crafts: Meets GSA blast-resistant standards, providing enhanced security and safety for sensitive maritime operations.
