Glass Fragment Retention
The 13 mil construction helps retain broken glass fragments after impact while keeping SCL SR PS13 matched to the project's appearance goals.
SCL SR PS13 is the heaviest clear safety film in this LLumar set. It keeps the glass appearance essentially clear while adding 13 mil construction for projects that need the strongest fragment-retention support available in this product group. The point is to change the failure behavior of the pane while leaving the original clear-glass appearance nearly intact.
It is appropriate for Philadelphia government facilities, secure offices, schools, high-risk storefronts, and glass doors where owners cannot accept a visible tint. It can also support blast-hazard and ballistic-support discussions when specified by qualified project teams with the right attachment system. On Philadelphia projects, SCL SR PS13 should be evaluated by elevation, room use, and how much glass faces sidewalks, transit, neighboring rowhomes, or open sky.
The film helps retain glass fragments after breakage and can delay forced entry, but it does not make glass unbreakable or replace engineered security glazing. Its clear appearance keeps VLT at roughly 90%+, so the focus is structural support rather than solar control. In practice, 90%+ VLT and 13 mil tells the project team how assertive the architectural result will feel once installed, not just how it looks on a sample card.
Choose SCL SR PS13 when maximum clear-film retention is the priority. Use PS8 or PS7 for lower threat profiles, and use solar safety products when heat, glare, and privacy also need correction. Window Film Philadelphia can compare it against adjacent LLumar options from Eastman Performance Films so the final selection matches the building, not just the product category. Samples should be judged in the actual room whenever daylight, privacy, historic appearance, visibility, or color is close.

Can delay forced entry when paired with suitable glass and attachment details; it is a retrofit layer, not absolute protection.
Adds safety performance with roughly 90%+ VLT, so Philadelphia interiors keep their clear-glass daylight while gaining UV reduction.
The SR surface helps the SCL SR PS13 installation stand up to routine cleaning in schools, storefronts, offices, and residences.
