Explosion proof Window Film | Qimpac | Transparent

SCALASOL® Anti-burglary Window Film QIMPAC

Pros and cons

Description QIMPAC

Short description
This type of explosion proof window film is 475 microns thick, so it is often used in industrial settings, e.g. areas close to incinerators, storage of hazardous substances, waste processing. The risk of explosions is higher than average in such spaces. Glass is the weakest spot in buildings, and particularly vulnerable when the air pressure becomes dangerously high (blast). If something explodes, blast mitigation film will hold the glass together, preventing injuries from flying glass shards. Qimpac bomb proof glass film is formally classified in the EN 13541 – ER1 class, with certification issued by the testing laboratory for safety glass at Fraunhofer EMI. The official certification for the explosion proof window film can be found at the bottom of this page. Protect yourself and your employees from flying splinters and shards of glass in the event of a blast.

Application
Our bomb proof glass film is transparent and consequently does not change any aspects of visibility or daylight, either from the inside or the outside. The film does not alter the architectural features of a building, so this bomb proof glass film can be used in historic or listed buildings. Another advantage is that this blast mitigation film blocks up to 99% of harmful UV radiation, so your furnishings and belongings will not fade. This explosion proof window film is transparent and invisible on the pane. Qimpac film is a very rigid kind of window film, and is extremely effective as protection against burglaries. Qimpac holds the glass together so it is practically impossible for any burglar to enter the house through the glass. The glass holds together like a shield. This two-fold effect means that Qimpac film is a multifunctional explosion proof window film.

Explosion-resistant Qimpac film provides additional protection in the event of an explosion. SCALASOL® can never be held liable for personal or property damage and any resulting costs.

• Regulations on explosion resistance

• The European standard EN 13541 – ER1 defines the explosion resistance of glazing and is applied in high-risk environments. Glass with the ER1 classification has been tested against pressure waves from minor explosions and must meet strict safety criteria regarding fragment behavior and resistance. This standard is mandatory for government buildings, airports, and strategically important facilities with potential explosion hazards. The Qimpac complies with these ER1 standards.

Application

Preparation
Before applying the QIMPAC, you must carry out the necessary preparations. The glass should be thoroughly cleaned using SCALASOL® TO-PREPARE and the SCALASOL® glass scraper.

Application on the inside of the glass
The QIMPAC should be applied to the inside of the window. It is suitable for all types of flat glass, including Low-E (high-efficiency) glass.

• Recommendation: Seal windows with structural sealant

• The security film must be applied over the entire glass pane (including between the rebate). If this is not possible, you can use the following special structural sealant: DOWSIL™ 995 Sealing Sealant | Black | High impact. This structural sealant ensures that the window does not come loose from the frame during a burglary attempt. The structural sealant works as a seal between the glass and the frame. This method of sealing helps prevent the glass (in combination with security film) from coming loose from the frame in the event of a high impact. The structural sealant must be applied to the inside (window film side) of the glass (indoor). DOWSIL™ 995 structural sealant has a very high tensile strength and is therefore ideal for absorbing impact energy such as that released by; explosions, extreme weather conditions, vandalism & burglary attempts.
