Terrorism is a 21st Century reality.

A building’s glass surfaces are its Achilles heel during a terrorist bomb attack. Shattered into razor-sharp fragments and propelled at high speeds, glass can become deadly. Extensive testing proves that 3M™ Safety and Security Window Films substantially reduce the threat of serious injury or death from flying glass during an explosion.

3M™ Safety and Security Window Films have been blast-tested by government agencies here and abroad, subjected to a broad spectrum of close-range explosive charges. In test after test, 3M protective films have retained shattered glass, even when an entire window is blown out of its frame.

Pictured at left:  The National Gallery of Canada, with more than 5,000 plate glass windows, houses many of the nation’s art treasures. Located just 300 yards from the United States Embassy, security officials were concerned about a terrorist bomb attack on the embassy. However, renowned architect Moshe Safdie was concerned about natural light transmission into the gallery. The answer? 3M™ Ultra Safety and Security Window Film with Ultraflex anchoring.
