Profilon AX-A1 recently became the first film coating to pass the rigorous testing standards of Underwriters Laboratories of Canada and is now the only film coating available in North America to be listed as burglary resistant. In Europe our unique system, which consists of optically clear film laminated onto glass, has successfully resisted the destructive effects of burglaries, bomb blasts, and civil disorders for over 20 years. The manufacturer of Profilon combines a proprietary process with our unique adhesive to bond Profilon to existing or new glass in order to significantly enhance its security.

Our comparison tests with all other domestically available security films revealed that they all fell short of cUL's S332-93 standard, an equivalent to the UL 972 standard for burglary resistant glazing material.

Profilon passed the tough European DIN standards A1 over ten years ago the added recognition by demonstrates why Profilon is the world leader in glass protection. Profilon with stands cUL steel ball drop test from 40', distancing Profilon from all other films.

Properties of Profilon

Profilon has been manufactured to exacting standards in Germany for over 20 years.
Profilon consists of extremely high quality optical grade layers of clear tinted PET films, which are cold laminated with a very thick bonding adhesive, thus effectively forming a "clear plywood". When applied to existing glazing by professional installers, Profilon forms a molecular bond to the glass, providing exceptional resistance to penetration. While the glass may break, Profilon holds the pieces tightly in place, satisfying insurance requirements for burglary resistant glazing in Europe and North America.

Profilon, which should not be confused with safety films commonly available from
"solar tinters", is produced using extremely thick "water clear" adhesives proprietary to Haverkamp. These dramatically enhance the performance of the PET in shock absorption. This combination of properties is not available from any other manufacturer of film products and is the "secret" to Profilon's longevity in the market and the reason most fortune 500 companies specify Profilon over any other film when it comes to protecting existing glass.

Profilon is warranted for five years after installation against discoloration, delamination or yellowing and is made with UV filters and interior surface hardening lacquer to allow for normal window washing without deterioration in looks or performance.

Report on BURGLARY RESISTING GLAZING MATERIAL

PRODUCT COVERED: Burglary Resisting Glazing material, Profilon AX-A1 SR, for use on glass panels as follows Indoor use - Float Glass or better with minimum thickness of 3 mm. Outdoor use - Laminated Glass - 2 Laminated panels of 3 mm glass - total minimum thickness 6.5 mm.

MULTIPLE IMPACT TEST: The glazing material, applied to 3 mm float glass, was subjected to five 68 J impacts as produced by dropping a 3-1/4inch ( 83 mm) diameter hardened smooth steel ball with a mass of 5 pounds (2.3 kg) through a vertical distance of 10 feet (3 m).

The test was conducted on ten samples of glazing material maintained at room temperature of 70-80 F(21oC +/- 1oC). The steel ball was released so as to strike each sample (560 mm by 560mm) successively at five different locations within a 130 mm diameter circle, whose center was located at the approximate center of the sample.

RESULTS: The steel ball did not penetrate the glazing material on any of the five impacts on any of the ten samples tested.

THERMAL CONDITIONING TEST OR OUTDOOR USE: Ten samples of glazing material, applied to 3 mm laminated glass (total thickness 6.5 mm) were conditioned at a temperature of -18oC +/- 1oC for 24 hours.

Immediately upon removal from the conditioning chamber, the samples were mounted and tested in accordance with the requirements of multiple impact test. They were subjected to five 68 J impacts as produced by dropping an 83 mm diameter hardened smooth steel ball with a mass of 5 pounds (2.3 kg), through a vertical distance of 10 feet (3 m).

RESULTS: The steel ball did not penetrate the glazing material on any of the five impacts on any of the ten samples tested.

THERMAL CONDITIONING TEST OR INDOOR USE:

Ten samples of the glazing material applied to 3mm float glass, were conditioned at a temperature of 120 F( 49oC +/- 1oC) and an additional ten samples were conditioned at a temperature of 14 F (13oC +/- 1oC) for periods of 24 hours. Immediately upon removal from the conditioning chamber, the samples were mounted and tested in accordance with the requirements of multiple impact test.

They were subjected to five 68 J impacts as produced by dropping an 83 mm diameter hardened smooth steel ball with a mass of 5 pounds( 2.3 kg), through a vertical distance of 10 feet (3 m).

RESULTS: The steel ball did not penetrate the glazing material on any of the five impacts on nine of the ten samples conditioned at 13oC +/- 1oC and did not penetrate the glazing material on any of the ten samples conditioned at 49oC.

HIGH-ENERGY IMPACT TEST:

The glazing material, applied to 3 mm float glass, and to 3 mm laminated glass was subjected to one 270 J impact, as produced by dropping an 83 mm diameter hardened smooth steel ball with a mass of 5 pounds (2.3 kg), through a vertical distance of 40 feet (12 m).

The test was conducted on three samples of glazing material maintained at room temperature of 21oC +/- 1oC. The samples were mounted in accordance with the requirements of the multiple impact test, except that silicone sealant was applied to ensure proper mounting. The steel ball was released so as to strike each sample once at the approximate center of the sample.

RESULTS: The steel ball did not penetrate the glazing material on any of the three samples of each type of glass.

CONCLUSION: On the basis of the foregoing investigation, it is concluded that the burglary resisting glazing material complies with the requirements of Underwriter's Laboratories of Canada for this class of product as contained in the Standard for Burglary Resisting Glazing Material, ULC-S332-93.

D.I.N. - West German Industry Standard TEN POINT CHECK LIST This check list will help you to make an informed decision regarding any security film or laminate. Always compare before deciding. Security rated products are required to have passed UL requirements in addition to other testing of the product.

Additional guarantees for security rated and listed films or laminates are as follows: Underwriters Laboratories UL Certifications - Profilon is the only laminate in the world to have passed Underwriters Laboratories standards in both Canada and the United States.

No other film manufactured today can achieve even the initial phase of these rigorous test. This UL certification is your assurance of a high quality security laminate. There is no other security rated film in the world!

Quality Assurance - When comparing security products, ask for the test results and methods of testing that were done on their products.

Profilon has been tested world wide. Zero Grade Optical Rating - The security laminate should have a zero (0) grade rating for optical clarity. Profilon has such a rating and does not yellow or turn opaque with age.

Ultraviolet Inhibitors - Security laminates should use UV inhibitors of a high grade. Profilon uses UV inhibitors which provide an absorption rate of greater than 99%.

Surface Hardeners - The surface of the laminate or film should be hardened to withstand scratches. Profilon uses a DURITALTM surface hardener that ensures the surface to be scratch resistant.

Cold Lamination Manufacturing - Security laminates should be cold laminated. Cold lamination eliminates the problems inherent with hot lamination such as delamination problems before, during and years after installation. Profilon is cold laminated.

Thickness of 15 mils/360 microns - The security laminate should be at least 15 mils/360 microns in total thickness: Only a thickness of at least 15 mils/360 microns can ensure maximum security from a security rated film. Profilon is the only security-rated 15 mil/360 micron laminate without delamination problems throughout the world!

Non-Hardening, Proprietary Adhesives - The adhesives used with a security rated film should never fully harden or dry. If they do, delamination will occur as the adhesive strength disappears. Once an adhesive hardens or dries, the film can be peeled off with relative ease. If the film can be peeled away with such ease, it can no longer provide glazing security. Ensure that the manufacturer uses a high quality non-hardening adhesive. Profilon has such an adhesive that is 2-1/2 times thicker than the usual 10 micron adhesives. The thickness of Profilon's adhesive is at least 25 microns thick. Profilon's adhesives are designed to bond with the glass--not just stick to it.

Single Application - Only a single one-sided application should be required. Multiple-sided or multiple layered applications only cost more and they do not last over the years. Exterior applications degrade rapidly due to exposure to the elements. Exterior applications just provide a false sense of security! Experience and Credentials - The dealer should have a solid security related background and verifiable credentials.
