These safety and security window films are made using the patented micro-layered polyester film from 3M.
They offer significantly more tear and penetration resistance strength than conventional PET films.

1 ASTM D-1004-94a Initial Tear Resistance of Plastic Film and Sheeting (Graves Area)
2 ASTM D882-95a Tensile Properties of Thin Plastic Sheeting (this method covers Young’s Modulus, tensile strength, break strength, an elongation). Young’s Modulus measures resistance to stretch, or give of a material.
The lower the value the more flexible the material. For example, a rubber band would have a YM<100k,
whereas for polystyrene > 1,000k.
3 ASTM D-2582-93 Puncture-Propagation Tear Resistance of Plastic Film and Sheeting
4 CPSC 1201.4 Accelerated Weathering for Plastics using 1200 hours Xenon Lamp Exposure
5 ASTM D-1044 Standard Method of Test for Resistance of Transparent Plastics to Surface Abrasion
