On vehicle platforms every kilogram matters for payload, door mechanisms and suspension. Using a polycarbonate layer on the protected side is a common approach in lightweight ballistic glass builds.
What a polycarbonate layer generally adds
- Can offer a weight advantage over comparable all-glass builds
- Limits glass spall from the inner face
- Can be considered for flat and curved forms
Weight, thickness and protection targets depend on each other; this balance is defined with the customer for each project.
