FAQs

What is level 8 ballistic protection? ›

UL 752 Level 8 are AK 47 bullet resistant panels primarily used in military defense. These are the primary protection against multiple shots against military assault rifles, such as an M-14 and similar weapons with a muzzle energy of up to 2519-3048 foot-pounds.

UL 752 Protection Standards for Bullet Resistant Glass

When you are looking at incorporating ballistic protection solutions, the most common standard in North America is UL 752.

The more layers of fiberglass the thicker the sheet and the higher the level of ballistic protection. UL752 Level 1 fiberglass which defeats 3 shots of a 9mm handgun is ¼” thick whereas UL752 Level 8 fiberglass which defeats 5 shots of a 7.62mm rifle is almost 1 ½” thick.

UL 752 Level 7 Specifications

Most commonly used as a protection barrier against multiple shots from a military assault rifle, such as the M-16, and the like, with muzzle energy of 1158-1402 foot-pounds (1570-1901J). Nominal Thickness. 1 – 1/8” Nominal Weight. 11.7 lbs per square foot.

This bullet resistant laminated glass can withstand a . 308 Winchester round, with no spall. The bullet resistant glazing provides 77% visible light transmittance. Our 2-1/4” thick bullet resistant laminated glass is comprised of multi-ply laminated glass with interlayers and AR polycarbonate.

The strongest bulletproof glass used in typical commercial construction is UL 752 Level 8.

Windshields and Bulletproof Glass Are Tougher

Throwing a spark plug shard might not immediately work on a windshield or bulletproof glass. Ordinary car glass is either annealed or tempered glass. Both materials easily give way to the ceramic of the spark plug insulator.

Kevlar® Kayak Material (K)

It is this unique combination of attributes which enable kayak manufacturers to produce a product that is lighter weight and stronger than traditional fiberglass models. Although Kevlar® is more expensive than fiberglass, the benefits are apparent, making it well worth the investment.

This process is called delamination, and it absorbs even more of the bullet's energy. The fiberglass layers act like a net, preventing the bullet from passing through to the protected side of the barrier. A bulletproof fiberglass panel just 1/4-inch thick can stop at least three 9mm bullets fired from a pistol.

Can Fibreglass stop a bullet? ›

Fiberglass. When at the appropriate thickness, fiberglass can easily deflect bullets by absorbing the energy through its layers. When placed between steel plates, this ultra-lightweight material effectively distorts the rounds and delaminates to capture the bullets within the structure.
