C-Bond Systems Conducts Successful Demonstration of C-Bond BRS Ballistic-Resistant System in Texas State Capital
Major media outlets covered the demonstration of glass treated with C-Bond BRS being shot multiple times with a handgun and an AR-15 rifle without bullet penetration of the glass
HOUSTON, Nov. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C-Bond Systems (the “Company” or “C-Bond”) (OTC: CBNT), a nanotechnology company that improves and strengthens brittle materials, conducted a successful live demonstration in Austin, TX of C-Bond BRS (ballistic-resistant film system) for school and building safety, which was covered by NBC, Fox News, Spectrum News and others. Links to the coverage are provided below.
C-Bond BRS is an independently-validated, bullet-resistant film system that increases the structural integrity of glass through nanotechnology. C-Bond BRS consists of the patented C-Bond glass strengthening technology and a private-label security film.

During the presentation, several pieces of glass treated with C-Bond BRS were shot at multiple times with a 9 mm handgun and an AR-15 rifle, neither of which were able to penetrate the glass. In addition to members of the media, demonstration attendees included representatives from several Texas school districts, school architects, window film installers, and representatives from local legislators’ offices.
“Every time we host a demonstration showing the strength of our C-Bond BRS ballistic-resistant system, people are moved and impressed by how effective it is,” stated Scott R. Silverman, the Company’s Chairman and CEO. “We believe that this is one piece of the larger solution needed to help ensure the safety of schools and students around the country.”
C-Bond BRS is validated to provide NIJ Level I, Level IIA, Level II, and UL 752 ballistic-resistant protection by a third-party laboratory. It is installed at more than 70 schools across the U.S. and other high-security facilities.
C-Bond’s glass strengthening technology is protected by 22 patents and patent pending applications. The C-Bond solution increases the mechanical properties of the window glass unit, enabling the glass to dissipate higher energy by targeting and repairing the microscopic flaws and defects that are randomly distributed naturally on the glass surface. These surface imperfections weaken the glass composite structure and initiate failures. C-Bond chemically bonds to the defects increasing both strength and flexibility.
