SSAF WINDOW FILMS LIMITED RECEIVES EUROPEAN SMART AWARD FOR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY IN 2002

SSAF WINDOW FILMS LTD. of Great Britain and its group of associated worldwide companies, including SSAF INTERNATIONAL LTD., SSAF USA LLC, SSAF MOSCOW, AND SSAF (TURKEY), have been awarded the "Smart Award for Technology Innovation." The award was given for the latest development of SSAF IMPAX Security Window Film.

SSAF window films have been saving lives for over 30 years. They have been accepted as a necessary safety material in the construction and glazing industries. Security has become a serious worldwide problem, and SSAF WINDOW FILMS LTD. has revolutionized the window film industry with its new patented technology.

Gary Blake, Nick Ashton, and Steve Ashton have been working passionately to improve security and safety in this terrorist-plagued world. The latest development of the SSAF IMPAX Security Window Film System is the culmination of six years of research, and continuing development is now entering the final phase.

With the increasing necessity of protecting the ever popular glass architectural designs of the 20th and 21st Centuries, SSAF WINDOW FILMS LTD. has invented a new process of window film manufacture and has strengthened its product significantly. It is substantially superior to any other window film from any other manufacturer. IMPAX is able to absorb 37 percent more Joules of energy than the previous generation of window film. This development changes the whole world of glass protection.

SSAF IMPAX Security Window Film is available in two thicknesses, 100 and 175 micron and negates the need for the far thicker films, allowing a clear undistorted view and the increased ability of sustaining far higher impacts that exists with this patented technology. This also does our part for saving our precious oil as this product is made from a base petrochemical.

The installation of IMPAX by SSAF WINDOW FILMS LTD. professionals has the ability to reduce the damage and risk from a terrorist bomb blast. Corporations facing the escalating cost of obtaining terrorism insurance or, in some cases, not being able to secure terrorism insurance, have a solution to their problem by installing this passive, state-of-the-art secure glass protection.

IMPAX is also a solution to the ever-increasing problem of nickel sulphide inclusion, which causes tempered glass to shatter without warning. This "glass cancer" causes glass panels to implode and presents great risk to those standing below. Because of the ocncern of seismic events, nations such as Japan now reauire all glass surfaces to be protected with security window film. Europe has requirements for protection of older glass, which is vulnerable and more likely to fail.

To protect both the public and employees, glass protection is necessary in airports, corporate office complexes, shopping malls, government buildings, and any other facility that has public access. Everyone is at risk from flying shards of glass, the deadly projectiles responsible for up to 85 percent of injuries and deaths as well as up to 85 percent of the insurance damage claims in an explosion. When the blast pressure wave enters the envelope of the facility, the glass is blown in at tremendous speed, and the destruction is almost indescrible.

Gary Blake, SSAF CEO stated, "The Smart Award is received by SSAF WINDOW FILMS LTD., its group of companies and its staff with great pride. Over 30 years of hard work, dedication, and continuing research pays off. The greatest payoff is the lives we have saved and will continue to save."

Anyone have any idea where this stuff is sold?

I did a google search for impax ssaf, window, film, etc., and although I found a couple of mentions, I didn't find any hard info.

Stupid. I guess I could have just clicked on the link at the top of the article.

Though they're not getting the word out very well if Google can't find 'em.

This is a security company so we don't advertise on billboards. I came aboard after 9-11 and working with this group of professionals is the most exciting thing I have done in my life.

SSAF protects the major buildings in London and buildings around the world. IMPAX is on 350 airports around the world. No other product comes close.

To be able to give the warranty, you cannot just buy it. It is installed by SSAF's own specially trained people and is really only practical on large jobs. We are negotiating in NY right now with major players.

my husband works for ssaf international. If you would like to contact ssaf, for information,you can contact me via email and I will relay any message you would like to him and have him contact you.
