New Contraflam® Ultimax combines the proven Contraflam fire-resistance with security glass, offering protection against forced entry, without sacrificing the clear vision of the glass solution. For a highly effective security performance, a polycarbonate-glass-laminate gets added to the make-up of Contraflam fire resistant glass, creating built-in forced entry protection that eliminates the need for an extra pane of glass or an easy-to-damage film.
