POLYCARBONATE LAMINATE FOR CLOSE-PROXIMITY BLAST EVENTS

摘要

The present invention provides a laminate for protecting an object against close-proximity blasts, ballistic and severe storm events, the laminate comprising two or more layers of polycarbonate having layered there between one or more layers of a thermoplastic polyurethane. Also provided is a method of protecting an object from a close-proximity blasts, ballistic and severe storm events, the method comprising placing between the object and the close-proximity blast, ballistic or severe storm event, the inventive laminate. The inventive laminate can afford increased protection to an object against 50 lbs. to 100 lbs. of trinitrotoluene-equivalent from distances as close as about 3 feet (0.91 m).
