Special acrylic adhesive system strengthens ordinary glass by up to 400 per cent, protecting consumers from injuries resulting from accidents and shattered glass.

Dubai, 22nd July 2003: Xtreme Defence Security Inc., (XDS) the leading edge security products company, established in the British Virgin Islands, has launched its operations in the Middle East and South Asia. The products are manufactured by various US based manufacturers and they will be exclusively marketed and distributed by XDS in the region. The marketing and distribution would be implemented through the Dubai office of XDS based at Dubai Airport Free Zone.

One of the key products among the portfolio of security products is a remarkably strong film and acrylic adhesive system that when applied to ordinary glass turns it into a super strength protective shield. The patented acrylic adhesive forms a chemical bond with the glass. This process strengthens the ordinary glass by up to 400 per cent, protecting consumers from injuries resulting from accidents or shattered glass. This state-of-the-art system also reduces the potential of smash and grab burglaries, forced entry, theft and absorbs more than 98 per cent of the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Speaking at a press conference Mr. Ranjan Mazumdar, Director, XDS said, "We are delighted to launch our services in the region and we look forward to providing the customers with a cost effective protective solution. Most window breakage occurs as a result of an accident, burglary, terrorism or bad weather and shattered pieces of glass are always a potential danger to property and individuals.

The limitation of today's unenhanced glass is that the glass breaks. Glass is everywhere but it is the weakest link to the safety of any building or vehicle in terms of protecting lives and property. The primary function of this product is to strengthen the glass first, then keep the glass intact in its frame, if broken. The likelihood of injury to person and property is greater in the course of a normal glass breakage than this treated glass. It is a proven fact that the XDS System can reduce damage and injury by up to 80 per cent," said Mr. Khurrum Hamirani, Director, XDS.

Another product range from XDS is the Xtreme Undirectional Protection System (XUPS). This glass / plastic Armour System has the unique quality of protecting against hostile fire; while allowing return fire safely from inside a car, building or other structures.

The bullet resistant glass, unidirectional glass and opaque components can be combined in a low cost (relative to other options), lighter weight protection systems for transport vehicles, Money In Transfer vehicles, boats, buildings, entry points, lockable revolving doors, holding cells and other law enforcement activities, ballistic shields, private home protection, high risk retail stores, banks and other financial institutions and for Portable Armour Systems.

"There are multiple reasons for organizations and individuals to adopt these products -
State of the art technology, affordability, ease of use and increased security concerns. However, the most important factor is simply that the need for these products already exists but the products themselves were not available till now" added Mr. Mazumdar.

Some of the key users for these products include: the US Senate office building, US Supreme Court, US Department of Defence, US Capital Police department, Boeing Aeronautical Corporation, United Nations, World Bank and Lloyd's of London.
