Storm Simulation
to simulate heavy wind load and wind-borne debris caused by
storms, Armorcoat was put through a series of impact testing
performed by Hurricane Engineering & Testing Inc.:
Small Missile Impact
Testing
Simulates airborne roof gravel. Ten,
8mm steel ball bearings are shot directly at a standard sliding
glass door with Armorcoat safety film bonded with a standard
structural sealant at 130 feet per second (88 MPH). Armorcoat
passed the test meeting Miami-Dade Protocol, SBCCI (Southern
Building Code Congress Int'l) and FBC (Florida Building Code)
codes.
An 8 Mil Armorcoat safety film was
used in this sample with a wet glazed attachment method. The
10, 8mm steel ball bearings are rejected from the center,
side and corner of the glass due to the Armorcoat film holding
the glass shards in place, protecting people and property.

Large Missile Impact Testing
Simulates 90-100 MPH wind zone. A four-pound 2-by-4 is shot
directly at an untreated, standard sliding glass door and
a standard sliding glass door with Armorcoat safety film bonded
with a standard structural sealant at 40 feet per second (27
MPH). Armorcoat passed the test meeting FBC code.
Glass without
Armorcoat Film
Without film the four-pound, 2-by-4 penetrates through
the standard sliding glass door leaving a hole for wind,
rain, debris and intruders. |
Glass with
Armorcoat Film & Attachment System
An 8 Mil Armorcoat safety film was used in this sample
with a wet glazed attachment method the four-pound 2-by-4
is rejected from the center and corner of the glass due
to the Armorcoat film holding the glass shards in place,
protecting people and property. |

Cyclic Pressure Testing
S imulates hurricane force winds as high as 175 MPH. After
the impact testing the Armorcoat system is put through a series
of 9,000 cycles of negative and positive pressure to prove
its endurance after breakage. Armorcoat passed the test meeting
Miami-Dade Protocol, SBCCI and FBC codes.
After impact testing the Armorcoat system is put through a
series of 9,000 cycles of negative and positive pressure to
prove its endurance after breakage. This test simulates hurricane
force winds as high as 175 miles per hour - and still, the
Armorcoat-treated glass stays in the frame.
