SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 09, 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 more than 130 schools in Texas have selected and installed the Company’s forced entry-resistant film and shooter attack film for improved school safety.
An alarming incidence of school shootings has increased the need for enhanced school safety measures. Triggered by the tragic Uvalde, TX school shooting last year and others, The Texas Legislature has provided new funding for school safety totaling $1.4 billion for the next two years. This includes $1.1 billion in one-time funding through the supplemental appropriations bill to address new minimum school safety standards and other facilities-related safety improvements.
“C-Bond Systems and our Patriot Glass Solutions division is proud to be an important part of the solution to improve school safety by offering a cost-effective, glass-strengthening, ballistic-resistant treatment to ordinary window glass that we are continuing to install in schools,” said Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and CEO of the Company. “We expect other states to follow Texas’ lead on mandating school safety measures, as schools nationwide are vulnerable and the need is growing rapidly.”
Through the Company’s broad dealer network and its recent partnership with Curtis Stout Inc., it is working to bring its school safety products across the country. Curtis Stout currently operates in Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Patriot Glass Solutions’ bullet-resistant film system is included as part of Curtis Stout’s bundled school safety offering, which also features surveillance equipment, door barricades, weapons detection, and more to protect school children.
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.
