SAN ANTONIO, Texas, July 17, 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 it will be exhibiting at the South Texas Association of School Maintenance Officials (STASMO) Conference on July 19-20 at the South Padre Island Convention Center in South Padre Island, TX. Patriot Glass Solutions is exhibiting to expand awareness of its security and ballistic-resistant film solutions for school safety to this target audience.
Patriot Glass Solutions will exhibit in conjunction with its new distribution partner, Curtis Stout, Inc., a company offering sales and support for Patriot Glass Solutions’ products, particularly for schools and government facilities, in the states of Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.
“As a leading provider of security window film for Texas schools, this is an important event for us to attend, said Michael Wanke, President of Patriot Glass Solutions. “The Texas Education Agency just implemented its final Rule to improve school safety, which requires Texas public schools to reinforce certain windows and doors with forced entry-resistant film or other methods, and thousands of schools are scrambling to identify vendors and comply with the TEA’s Rule. We can help these schools and get them to apply for funding within a short timeframe and put them in position to certify compliance,” concluded Wanke.
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).”
Patriot Glass Solutions offers forced-entry resistant security film and ballistic-resistant film systems. C-Bond Secure, the Company’s proprietary glass strengthener, is applied directly to the 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 delays forced entry, which gives law enforcement or other security personnel significantly more time to lead those inside a facility to safety and apprehend the perpetrator. Patriot Glass Solutions also offers C-Bond BRS, a ballistic-resistant film system, which 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.
