C-Bond Systems Positioned to Implement its Security Window Film Strategy after Texas Education Agency Approves Final Rule to Enhance School Safety at over 8,100 Public Schools in Texas

With its security film products already installed in over 100 schools in Texas, Patriot Glass Solutions powered by C-Bond Systems’ technology is the “best-of-breed” solution for all schools

HOUSTON, June 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C-Bond Systems (the “Company” or “C-Bond”) (OTC: CBNT), a developer and marketer of glass strengthening solutions for enhanced safety, and its Patriot Glass Solutions division announced today it is positioned to implement its security window film strategy after the Texas Education Agency (“TEA”) adopted a final rule to improve school safety (the “Rule”). The Rule provides a multifaceted framework for all 8,100 Texas public schools to add safety measures, including a requirement for exterior doors containing glass and exterior ground-level windows that could permit entry to be modified/reinforced with, for example, forced entry-resistant film.

With over 100 schools already installed in Texas, Patriot Glass Solutions – powered by C-Bond Systems’ technology – is the “best-of-breed” solution for all schools. The Company’s proprietary technology stops bullets and holds the glass and window film together providing the leading solution for schools across Texas and nationwide.

Patriot Glass Solutions offers security film products to deter forced entry and provide ballistic resistance. C-Bond Secure is stronger than just security film alone. C-Bond Secure, the Company’s proprietary glass strengthener, is applied directly to the window prior to the application of window film to increase the strength and flexibility of the underlying glass. When used in conjunction with security film, C-Bond Secure delays forced entry, which gives law enforcement or other security personnel more time to lead those inside a facility to safety and apprehend the perpetrator.

C-Bond BRS, a ballistic-resistant film system, includes C-Bond’s glass strengthening technology and multiple layers of security film to help stop bullets from penetrating glass. C-Bond BRS is certified by third party labs to meet National Institute of Justice Level I, Level IIA, Level II, and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 ballistic-resistant protection standards.

Among other school security initiatives passed during the latest legislative session, the final TEA Rule mandates that, “Unless inside an exterior secured area, doors constructed of glass or containing glass shall be constructed or modified such that the glass cannot be easily broken and allow an intruder to open or otherwise enter through the door (for example, using forced entry-resistant film).”
