Fragment Retention
The 7mil construction helps retain glass fragments when panes break, reducing the risk of injury from flying shards. Philadelphia commercial properties use it to enhance occupant safety in high-traffic areas.
This safety and security window film helps retain glass fragments when glass breaks, reducing the risk of injury from flying shards. At 7mil thickness, the S70 Exterior (SH7CLARXL) - Safety/Security provides a specific level of fragment retention performance for commercial and residential glazing applications.
Philadelphia's historic buildings in Society Hill and modern commercial towers in Center City both benefit from enhanced glass safety. The film is particularly relevant for ground-floor retail windows, lobby entrances, and residential units where breakage risk is elevated. Property managers value the added protection without the need for disruptive glass replacement.
The film uses a high-performance adhesive system designed to bond durably to glass surfaces under varied temperature and humidity conditions. It maintains optical clarity and does not yellow over time. The 7mil construction offers specific resistance to penetration, helping hold broken glass in place until professional remediation can occur.
Compared to thinner standard films, this product provides measurably greater fragment retention. Philadelphia property owners who need to meet building code requirements for glass safety or who want to enhance security without replacing existing windows find this a cost-effective upgrade. It does not provide absolute protection but significantly reduces the hazard radius from broken glass.

The film applies directly to existing glass, avoiding the cost and disruption of full pane replacement. Philadelphia's historic buildings benefit from this retrofit approach that preserves original glazing.
Despite its security function, the film maintains high visible light transmission. Philadelphia offices and retail spaces keep their bright, open appearance without visible compromise.
