Llamas Plastics, Inc.: AEROLITE ARMOR ANTI-BALLISTIC GLAZING

Friday, February 01, 2008

Llamas Plastics, Inc., a provider of
high-quality security glazing products, has introduced AeroLite Armor NIJ
Level III rated anti-ballistic glazing with heightened bullet resistance for
critical military and security applications. AeroLite Armor is manufactured
with MAKROLON(R) AR1 polycarbonate sheet, a product of Sheffield Plastics
Inc., a Bayer MaterialScience Company. With this robust component, AeroLite
Armor has withstood long and short-term abrasion and field testing to
deliver the proven hardest surface of any polycarbonate sheet in the
industry.

MAKROLON AR1 polycarbonate sheet couples glass-like surface hardness with
the impact strength of polycarbonate. This durable sheet offers dependable
resistance against abrasion and UV, preventing yellowing and hazing for
longer service life in high-profile applications. Especially significant is
the weight advantage MAKROLON provides, as AeroLite Armor weighs 25-30
percent less than comparable products and is less than 2 inches thick. Its
lightweight MAKROLON construction makes AeroLite Armor easier to apply and
use while providing rugged, reliable protection for combat vehicles, flight
control towers, federal buildings and other sensitive locations.

"AeroLite Armor with MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet delivers superior
protection in military, industrial and commercial applications where the
threat of terror or bullet penetration is a concern," said Cindy Smith, Vice
President, Sales and Marketing at Llamas Plastics. "AeroLite Armor offers
exceptional bullet resistance while delivering 75-77 percent light
transmission - one of the highest rates in the industry. When competitive
products can become totally obscured, AeroLite Armor panels remain visible
for a potentially life-saving advantage."

AeroLite Armor with MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet has been certified by
independent test labs to meet and exceed the requirements of the NIJ Level
III requirements, withstanding a severe test that demands multi-hit impacts
with both 7.62 NATO ball-M80 (7.62 x 51 mm) and 5.56 M193 Ball (5.56 x
45mm). It is available in both flat and curved designs and, with its
Deerfield urethane inner layer, provides advanced adhesive power and
ultra-clarity.

"The durable qualities and flexible features of the polycarbonate sheet
allow it to easily conform to meet various security glazing needs," Smith
said. "AeroLite Armor's increased visibility and weight-saving advantage
makes it ideal for use in gun port applications, and it’s high performance
and robust MAKROLON construction is well suited for logistical housing and
command centers. Plus, it offers reliable protection at a competitive
price."
