On May 26th, the Texas Education Agency implemented its final rule to improve school safety
With over 125 installations completed, Patriot Glass Solutions is positioned well to assist schools with the implementation of the TEA’s final rule
SAN ANTONIO, June 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patriot Glass Solutions, a division of C-Bond Systems (the “Company” or “C-Bond”) (OTC: CBNT), a developer and marketer of glass strengthening solutions for enhanced safety, announced today that it has received more than $361,000 of purchase orders to install shooter attack film/C-Bond BRS (ballistic-resistant system) and C-Bond Secure at schools in Texas since May 26, 2023. On May 26th, the Texas Education Agency implemented its final rule to improve school safety (the “Rule”).
With its products already installed in more than 125 schools in Texas, Patriot Glass Solutions – powered by C-Bond Systems’ technology – offers best-of-breed security film products to deter forced entry and provide ballistic resistance.
C-Bond Secure is stronger than just security film alone. C-Bond Secure, the Company’s proprietary glass strengthener, is applied directly to a window prior to the application of window film to increase the strength and flexibility of the underlying glass. When used in conjunction with security film, C-Bond Secure can delay forced entry by up to a minute and a half, which gives law enforcement or other security personnel significantly more time to apprehend the perpetrator.
C-Bond BRS, a ballistic-resistant film system, includes C-Bond’s patented glass strengthening technology and multiple layers of security film on specified glass thickness to help stop bullets from penetrating glass. C-Bond BRS is certified by third party labs to meet National Institute of Justice Level I, Level IIA, Level II, and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 ballistic-resistant protection standards.
“With over 125 school installations already completed, we are well positioned to assist schools with the implementation of the TEA’s final rule to ensure compliance,” said Michael Wanke, President of Patriot Glass Solutions. “Keeping our school children, teachers, and staff safe and protected is one of our top priorities.”
Among other school security initiatives passed during the latest legislative session, the TEA’s Rule mandates that, “Unless inside an exterior secured area, doors constructed of glass or containing glass shall be constructed or modified such that the glass cannot be easily broken and allow an intruder to open or otherwise enter through the door (for example, using forced entry-resistant film).”
The Rule also mandates that, “Except when inside an exterior secured area, all ground-level windows near exterior doors that are of a size and position that permits entry from the exterior if broken shall be constructed or modified such that the glass cannot be easily broken and allow an intruder to enter through the window frame (for example, using forced entry-resistant film).”
