Protective Armored Systems (PAS) PAS is an industry leader in glass
and polymer lamination specializing in bullet-resistant and
security glazing for the government, military, institutional and
commercial market segments. PAS custom-develops systems for a
variety of ballistic, forced-entry and impact-resistant
applications, including automobiles, aircraft, boats, prisons,
guardhouses, courthouses, law enforcement facilitators and retail
stores. Glass Laminate and Glass Clad Transparency barriers can be
shaped to fit OEM specs for windshields and other curved surfaces.
When PAS develops a glass barrier system, visibility is never
compromised for safety. PAS has found innovative ways, ranging from
chemical treatments, to advanced materials, to combine visual
product clarity with superior attack and ballistic protection. And
because spalling - the spray of glass fragments into a vehicle at
impact - can be as damaging as the threat the glass stopped, PAS
offers a full line of "low-spall" and "no-spall" barriers for many
applications. With its manufacturing facility located in Lee,
Massachusetts, the long list of PAS clients includes government
installations, the banking industry, and a host of commercial
market segment clients. PAS manufactures extremely durable and
lightweight transparent armor that is made available either in flat
sheets, or curved and cut to fit specific application requirements.
Combining the hard surface of glass with the resilient toughness of
polycarbonate, PAS Glass Clad systems are specially designed to
defeat threats from high-powered firearms with low-spall or no-
spall performance that meet NIJ and UL standards for
bullet-resistant applications. Whether supplied flat or curved for
a specific application, PAS Laminated Glass offers the durability
of traditional bullet-resistant glazing that meet NIJ and UL
standards for bullet-resistant applications. PAS Security Glass
Clad Laminates provide long-lasting protection against moderate
ballistic and forced entry threats. The durability and versatility
of these laminates make them a perfect choice for correctional
facilities, court houses, and government building and corporate
security applications. By altering thickness and composition
(adding layers of glass or polycarbonate) PAS Security Glass Clad
Laminates can be customized to specific threat level requirements.
PAS Laminated Polycarbonate sheets provide protection against
multi-shot penetration as well as forced entry attempts. With an
abrasion resistant coating on both sides of the unit, protection is
also provided against the passage of fragments (spalling) that
could cause injury to anyone standing behind and/or near the
protective sheet. PAS Laminated Polycarbonate sheets offer adequate
protection, excellent optical clarity and typically weigh less than
other bullet-resistant materials. PAS Laminated Polycarbonate
sheets can also be cut to custom sizes to accommodate installation
or can be provided in standard sheet sizes. For more information on
