This article will explore the state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, unique product features, and diverse applications of Kratos Glass.

1. The Evolution of Bulletproof Glass

Understanding the Technology Behind Safety

Bulletproof glass, often referred to as ballistic glass, is a composite of multiple glass layers bonded together using polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or other advanced materials like polycarbonate. These layers ensure that projectiles are stopped effectively, protecting the occupants while maintaining structural integrity.

Kratos Glass has been at the forefront of innovation, developing curved and flat bullet-resistant glass with a focus on safety, weight efficiency, and crystal-clear vision.

2. Kratos’ Bulletproof Glass: Built for Ultimate Protection

High-Performance Layers for Maximum Safety

Kratos bullet-resistant glass combines the following components:

Glass Layers: Engineered for strength and to absorb impact energy.
PVB/Polycarbonate Layers: Prevent glass shards (spall) from causing injuries by flexing instead of shattering.

This sophisticated design not only ensures protection against ballistic threats but also minimizes weight—an essential requirement for armored vehicles and marine applications.

Key Benefits of Kratos Bulletproof Glass

🛡️ Certified Protection: Compliant with international ballistic standards.
