ShotBlocker offers high level of ballistic protection

Norplex-Micarta introduced ShotBlocker the Class 1-A fire-rated projectile-resistant building material. Lighter than steel, ricochet-resistant, and easily installed using ordinary hand-tools, ShotBlocker is the suitable reinforcing substrate for bullet-resistant architectural and building projects. ShotBlocker is a bullet-resistant fiberglass laminate that can be used in structures where increased ballistic protection is desired. From government facilities to check-cashing stations, armored vehicles, and commercial aircraft, ShotBlocker provides far greater security and protection in walls, doors, and counters than similar polyester-based ballistic laminates.

ShotBlocker also meets the requirements for courtroom, gas station, and convenience market armor. ShotBlocker complies with applicable federal and state flame and smoke protection regulations. ShotBlocker is readily machined and is lighter than steel, making it easier to install and repair. ShotBlocker can be cut and drilled in the field with commercial quality circular, table, or panel saws. For aesthetic conformity, ShotBlocker can be surfaced on site with veneer, drywall, wallpaper, or other wall coverings.
