Through use of tried and tested specialist interlayers Tyneside can provide solutions to support the control of heat absorbtion and solar control within vehicles for added comfort, we can also offer non reflective glazing solutions for use in architectural applications. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. The performance requirements govern the number, and thickness of individual glass layers, thus affecting the overall thickness and weight. Spall Allowed usually refers to an all glass construction where glass shards are permitted to break away from the secure side when a bullet impacts the attack face. Tyneside have designed and developed a system which is laminated into the ballistic glass construction then fixed to the vehicle during the fitting of the glass to ensure that bullet resistant glass is not detached following an attack.

Tyneside Safety Glass provides bullet-resistant glass for manufacturers who serve the armed forces, private organisations, and civilians around the world. Polycarbonate is lighter and stronger than glass and its use allows the manufacturers to reduce overall thickness and greatly reduce weight, especially in no spall variants. Bulletproof, Armoured, Ballistic and Bullet Resistant are all terms commonly used to describe glass designed to withstand the impact of bullets. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.

Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). All of our products are tested and certified by official European external independent accredited testing facilities to ensure they meet the following international ballistic standards.

A wide range of accessories can be specified on our glass including radio antennas, rear view mirror mounts, screen printed obscuration bands with dot matrix, bespoke framing solutions, rain sensors etc. The ability of the polycarbonate layer to stop projectiles with varying energy is directly proportional to its thickness, [5] and bulletproof glass of this design may be up to 3. Experiments suggest that polycarbonate fails at lower velocities with regular shaped projectiles compared to irregular ones (like fragments), meaning that testing with regular shaped projectiles gives a conservative estimate of its resistance. This is by utilising our state of the art machinery which lays and heats tungsten “invisible” wires on to the surface of the PVB (Poly Vinyl Butryl) interlayer which is then laminated in between the glass construction. The index of refraction for all of the glasses used in the bulletproof layers must be almost the same to keep the glass transparent and allow a clear, undistorted view through the glass.The deformed bullet completely penetrates the glass and then it is stopped by the flexible polycarbonate. Kite Glass’ bulletproof glass is designed to dissipate and absorb the projectile’s energy on impact and to contain it within the face of the glass pane that has been struck. They start conversations and it makes you even more excited to pour that special drink for those around you.

Tyneside Safety Glass has supplied products and services such as the manufacture of toughened and bespoke glass to various industries for over 80 years.Time will tell how they will hold up but so far it looks and feels like a product that if you take care of it, it will take care of you. When projectiles do not penetrate, the depth of the dent left by the impact can be measured and related to the projectile’s velocity and thickness of the material.

Item Details: Following the success of our innovative crackled glasses with bullet we are now introducing a premium version in crystal clear glass in a generous tumbler size. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). For more information on the complete range of test standards, including EN1063 please see our technical specifications section. Within Europe the most commonly specified standards are the European BS EN 1063 levels include handguns, rifles and shotguns . The spall starts in surface flaws caused by bending of the inner, polycarbonate layer and the cracks move “backwards” through to the impact surface.Our "Bulletproof" shot glass started as a father and son project in 2015 and developed into a family business.
