ESG Ballistic
Bullet Resistant Glass

ESG Ballistic bullet resistant glass was developed for the security market by the team at ESG, one of the UK’s leading glass processing experts. Through extensive research and stringent testing, we developed ESG Ballistic bullet resistant glass as part of our innovative high security product range.

Bullet resistant glass solutions

ESG Ballistic bullet resistant glass provides high level security glazing with a defined resistance against the firing of specified weapons and ammunition. Created from layers of laminated glass and specialist interlayers, ESG Ballistic is manufactured under our exacting quality controlled methods. This bullet resistant glazing is specially designed to absorb both the impact and the enormous energy of a projectile, and to contain it within the glass panel. This affords protection to those on the other side of the glass, preventing life threatening injuries. Our combined expertise and experience has enabled us to reduce construction thicknesses, making ESG Ballistic thinner and lighter than standard products on offer in the marketplace, with superior light transmission as an added bonus.

Applications

ESG Ballistic bullet resistant glass has a vast array of potential applications including; military installations; government buildings and other secure institutions; personnel protection screens in banks, building societies, airports, post offices, betting shops, petrol filling stations and cash desks; as well as in armoured, cash transfer and private vehicles.

No spall

A common problem associated with bullet resistant glass products is splintering, or spall. This is measured by means of a ‘witness’, consisting of an aluminium foil placed behind the test piece. The glass is deemed to have passed if the foil is not perforated by glass fragments during the test. To provide the maximum protection to life in the event of a ballistic attack, ESG Ballistic bullet resistant glass comes in a no spall option, to eliminate the risk of injury from glass fragments to those in close proximity to the glass.
