This product is an optically clear, glass shatter resistant and abrasion resistant 4-mil thick window film that, when applied as instructed to the glass surface of interior or exterior windows or doors, helps hold broken glass together and significantly reduces the ultra-violet light that normally would enter through the glass. Helps prevent flying glass shards in the following applications: spontaneous glass breakage, break and entry incidents, seismic events, exterior-facing glass retention (e.g., balcony glass, balustrades, skylights, and outer pane of insulated glass units (IGU), curtain walls).

IMPORTANT: This is an overview of product features. References to explosions or blasts apply only to commercial and non-educational government facility applications. Prior to product selection, always refer to the current 3M Technical Data Sheet for detailed product information.

CAUTION: While 3M™ Window Films, when applied in accordance with 3M instructions, may help reduce the impact of flying glass shards under certain conditions and potentially delay intruders, THESE FILMS DO NOT PREVENT PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. WINDOW FILMS ARE NOT BULLETPROOF AND NOT DESIGNED TO STOP INTRUDERS.

CAUTION: Although certain 3M™ Window Films help block a certain percentage of UVA and UVB radiation and may have received The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation, the efficacy of these films in protecting against skin cancer has not been tested by 3M and 3M™ WINDOW FILMS DO NOT PREVENT SKIN CANCER.

IMPORTANT PRODUCT AND APPLICATION LIMITATIONS: Many factors can contribute to potential hazards and damages arising from wind, impact, seismic, explosion, or break and entry incidents, including the window film selected, type and thickness of glass, building construction, exterior pressure, proximity of impact occurrence, quality of window or door frames, intruder size and strength, and type of tools used to gain entry. Certain 3M™ Window Films require the use of 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment (IPA) Sealant on glass window and door frames for windstorm, break & entry, and explosion mitigation applications and for spontaneous glass breakage applications on single pane tempered glass. The sealant may also be recommended for certain other spontaneous glass breakage, safety glazing, and seismic applications. Always refer to the 3M Technical Data Sheets and 3M Technical Specifications to determine whether these combinations are required. Always consult with security professionals and a 3M Authorized Window Film Dealer prior to selecting any window films to determine suitability for the intended application.

In compliance with Florida Statute 553.842, this product may not be advertised, sold, offered, provided, distributed, or marketed in the State of Florida as hurricane, windstorm, or impact protection from wind-borne debris from a hurricane or windstorm.
