FT800 Blast Mitigation / Glass Containment Film
The greatest danger in a blast attack is from flying shards of glass, causing 90% of all bomb-related injuries. Even if not considered to be a target, powerful shock waves from this type of high-velocity attack emanate in all directions causing devastation for miles around.
FT800™ film is an immediate and cost-effective installation of high-tensile strength, multi-ply glass containment window film which will significantly reduce the hazards of flying glass, holding broken glass safely to the film thereby dramatically reducing injury and damage whilst also minimising clear-up time.
Professionally installed with the minimum of disruption by a highly skilled team of operators. Glass protection film could be the solution you are looking for as part of your Business Continuity and Emergency Planning procedures.
