The "Hercules" Level III has passed the drop ball test according to the standards of the Glass Association, achieving the highest rank of P5A. The test criteria involve dropping a 4.11 kg steel ball from a height of 9 meters for 9 times, and if the glass does not penetrate, it is considered a pass. However, "Hercules III" resulted in penetration on the 17th drop. In comparison, other companies' highest level security glass products, which include a 1.2 mm polycarbonate layer and have a thickness of 8.2 mm, penetrated on the 11th drop. 【Hercules Features】 ○ Safety → Even if broken, shards do not scatter → Impact objects do not penetrate ○ Soundproofing → Achieves a quiet living space ○ UV Cut → Reduces damage to eyes and skin For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

Hercules A injects Hercules resin, developed specifically for glass, between the layers of glass, generating an intermediate film through a chemical reaction at room temperature and pressure. The manufacturing technology of Hercules is believed to contribute significantly to environmental protection by enabling energy savings and reducing CO2 emissions compared to laminated glass produced under high temperature and pressure. Since large capital investment is not required, there is no need for the manufacturing energy of autoclaves, the energy for PVB film formation, or the bonding energy from high-temperature and high-pressure vessels. 【Features】 ○ Does not shatter into flying fragments even when broken ○ Difficult for impact objects to penetrate ○ Excellent sound insulation ○ High UV cut rate For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
