How is bulletproof glass made? |
Bulletproof glass is composed of two sheets of plate glass with a sheet of transparent resin in between, molded together under heat and pressure. When subjected to a severe blow, it will crack without shattering. Today’s bulletproof glass is a development of laminated or safety glass, invented by the French chemist Edouard Benedictus (1878–1930). It is basically a multiple lamination of glass and plastic layers.
