About ACE Security Laminates™

ACE/Security Laminates™ manufactures a micro-thin transparent window laminate which turns regular glass windows into barriers that can resist the force of small firearms, bombs, high impact projectiles, and hurricanes. Founded in 1991, ACE is represented in more than 40 countries worldwide and continues to expand globally. Our safety and security laminate products are used worldwide to protect business, government, residential, and automotive glass structures from threats of break and enters, vandalism and acts of terrorism. ACE security laminates are now available through the Government Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule for use by all US Government agencies. Our security laminates meet and exceed GSA Level 1 and they can withstand 9.3 psi with an impulse of 72 psi-msec (limited level 2).

The Ace Security Solution

ACE/Security Laminates™ is committed to protecting people and wants to ensure that both the public at large and the people on the inside of buildings are protected against the threats of broken and flying glass. That's why ACE has designed a security solution to help the construction and building manager reduce that threat. Security laminates can be applied to both new and retrofit applications. When retrofitting existing glass, security laminates are the single most cost-effective approach for preventing the consequences from forced entry attacks, bullets and explosive blasts.

Bullet and bomb blast damage from potential terrorist threats has created a need for new standards to mitigate flying glass hazards from blast loads. ACE has conducted extensive third-party testing to demonstrate
the performance of their safety and security films against bomb blast loads. ACE laminates meet or exceed the following test standards:

• BMAG (Blast Mitigation Action Group) Level 1
• GSA (Government Services Administration) Level 2
• GSA (Government Services Administration) Level 1
• MREL (Mining Resource Engineering Limited) Open Air Blast Test 50 lb. bomb
