Explosion-proof glasses with polycarbonate: SICURTEC_BLAST
Polycarbonate safety glass: redefining the limits of physics
The SICURTEC_BLAST polycarbonate safety glass is your reliable explosion protection in critical situations where serious explosions may occur.
Reality has taught us that the risk of explosions – whether caused by accidents or terrorist acts – has increased significantly. Blast-force pressure waves that far exceed normal wind loads destroy conventional glass and put human lives at risk. But this does not apply to the explosion-proof barrier provided by SICURTEC_BLAST.
Advantages of explosion-proof glass
Our explosion-proof glazing has proven itself in tests and, in addition to certification, comes with many other advantages:
- Effective explosion protection even against detonations of 2.5 tons of TNT from a distance of 49 meters
- A weight of only 46 kg/m² with a thickness of 23 mm
- Easy to install due to its low weight, can be realized without lifting equipment
- Shatter-free properties under explosion pressure
Application areas of polycarbonate safety glass
SICURTEC_BLAST is used wherever transparent and reliable protection against violent explosions is essential.
- ammunition depots
- Petrochemical industry plants
- Research facilities for nuclear energy
- High-security areas such as vaults
- Courthouses, bank branches and other critical infrastructure facilities
Additional options for explosion-proof glass
Our SICURTEC_BLAST safety glass can be customized with numerous additional options to ensure maximum functionality:
- White glass for perfect color fidelity
- Insulating glazing for optimal thermal insulation
- Alarm glazing with integrated security loop
- Fire-resistant glazing with extreme heat resistance
- Single-sided mirrored lenses for discretion
