“We continue to build momentum in our Patriot Glass division and are experiencing significantly increased demand for our security film and ballistic-resistant film products, particularly at schools in Texas,” said Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and CEO of C-Bond. “We intend to meet that demand both directly and through the addition of Patriot Glass dealers. We are also seeing increased activity in our Transportation Solutions Group as we get growing interest from automotive warranty companies for C-Bond nanoShield. We look forward to reporting on these opportunities throughout the remainder of 2022,” continued Silverman.

C-Bond’s glass strengthening protection solutions, including C-Bond Secure, an application to deter forced entry, and C-Bond BRS, a ballistic-resistant system, have been installed in more than 100 schools, government buildings, media sites, and other high-security facilities around the country. C-Bond’s technology is protected by 23 patents and patent-pending applications.

C-Bond’s windshield strengthener, C-Bond nanoShield™, is a first of its kind solution that protects and strengthens windshields by permeating the glass surface and repairing the microscopic flaws and defects on the glass that ultimately initiate chipping and cracking. The strengthening process begins immediately upon application and continues while the material cures in the following days. The product is easy to apply and is sprayed on and squeegeed off.

The Company’s Q2 2022 10-Q can be found in the Investors section its website or on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

C-Bond Secure is a glass strengthening primer and window film mounting solution that is used in conjunction with security film on architectural glass to deter forced entry and other crime. C-Bond Secure increases the strength of the underlying glass using patented nanotechnology and when used in conjunction with security window film, C-Bond Secure helps to prevent break-ins.

Patriot Glass Solutions also offers C-Bond BRS, a ballistic-resistant film system that includes C-Bond’s patented glass strengthening technology and security film to help stop bullets from penetrating glass. C-Bond BRS is validated by an independent third-party laboratory to provide National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level I, Level IIA, Level II, and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 ballistic-resistant protection.
