BALLISTIC GLASS PROTECTION FOR EVERY THREAT LEVEL
A tiered ballistic glass laminate system, from forced entry deterrence through full ballistic protection, applied to existing glass by Clear-Armor certified installers. In addition, each product is engineered for specific threat profiles: handgun rounds, 12-gauge 00 buckshot, bomb blast pressure, and forced entry. All meet building fire code and deliver the same critical outcome: they buy your people the time to execute their response plan.
CLEAR-ARMOR SL-15
This second-generation 15-mil ballistic glass laminate is engineered to defeat smash-and-grabs, forced entry attempts, bomb blast pressure, and high winds. Shot through multiple times, the glass will not collapse, giving your team critical time to react, lock down, and execute your safety plan. Meets fire code. No building permit. No glass removal. Lifetime warranty.
CLEAR-ARMOR SL-31 RIOT
Our patented 31-mil ballistic glass laminate riot control system handles prolonged attacks, crowd riots, and active threat scenarios. Holds glass firmly in place through sustained assault, giving occupants the critical minutes they need to execute active threat protocols, get to safety, and let first responders arrive. Meets fire code. Lifetime warranty.
CLEAR-ARMOR BR
A patented retrofit laminate tested to NIJ 0108.01 Type II-A, 9mm: Intertek N2350.01-119-12 R0, 2022. Also tested to ASTM F3561 Level 6 and ASTM F1233 Class 1.2 and 1.3, both Intertek. Meets fire code. Your glass becomes your shield.
CLEAR-ARMOR MOUNTED
When custom installations require dedicated mounted glass, entryways, transaction windows, secure reception areas, Clear-Armor provides factory-laminated assemblies engineered to client specification, with threat level set per project and test documentation supplied for the specified build. Installation by Clear-Armor certified installers.

Every electronic security system shares one weakness: it depends on something. Power. Internet. Cloud servers. Firmware updates. Cut any one and the protection goes dark. Our ballistic glass laminate products depend on none of it, that’s the competitive advantage. They work the instant a threat arrives, with zero dependencies.

Detection and surveillance tell you something is happening. Our ballistic glass determines what happens next, with no power, no signal, and no dependency on technology that can fail at the worst possible moment.
THREE WAYS TO HARDEN EXISTING GLASS
Three product categories compete for the same budget line. They are not interchangeable, and the right answer depends on how much resistance you need and how much disruption you can absorb.
| Thin security film | Applied security laminate (Clear-Armor) | Polycarbonate overglaze | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A thin film bonded to the glass | A thicker laminate applied to your existing glass | A framed panel mounted over the existing window |
| Primary purpose | Holds broken glass together | Forced-entry delay and glass retention | Maximum forced-entry resistance |
| Forced-entry performance | Not a forced-entry product | Tested to ASTM F3561 Level 6 on a 48.5 x 66.5 in fixed window assembly (Intertek T5624.01-119-12 R0, 3/4/26) | Highest published F3561 levels in the category |
| Window replacement | None | None | None, but new framing is added |
| Disruption | Low | Low, the building stays occupied | Higher, frame work required |
| Appearance | Essentially unchanged | Essentially unchanged | Visibly changed |
| Relative cost | Lowest | Middle | Highest |
If your requirement is maximum resistance regardless of cost, disruption, or appearance, overglaze is the category to look at. Applied laminate is a different trade: it goes on the glass you already have, in a building that stays open, without a framing change. Ask any vendor which category you are being quoted, and what the install involves.
EVERY SECOND OF DELAY SAVES LIVES
Victus Defense is the premier representative for Clear-Armor®, backed by four issued U.S. patents. The laminate is tested to ASTM F3561 Level 6 for forced entry and NIJ 0108.01 Type II-A for 9mm, both by Intertek, while meeting building fire code. As a result, the real value goes beyond stopping threats: it buys your people the time to react, lock down, and execute their safety plan before threats escalate.
Designed for Real-World Threats
Clear-Armor is engineered for the threat profile facing the vast majority of institutional and commercial properties: 9mm handgun rounds (NIJ 0108.01 Type II-A, Intertek 2022), IED and bomb blast pressure, forced entry tools, and sustained physical assault. Independently tested. Meets fire code. And critically, buys your people the time they need to execute their response plan.
Usually No Building Permit
Because Clear-Armor applies directly to your existing glass as a laminate, not a structural modification, most jurisdictions do not require a building permit. Confirm with your local building authority. Your facility stays fully operational throughout installation.
On-the-Spot Change Orders
Clear-Armor installations adapt in real time. If a new entry point needs addressing mid-project, Clear-Armor certified installers handle it without restarting permitting or scheduling. Your priorities drive the scope, not a rigid contract. Collaborative, flexible, and responsive to how your facility actually operates.
