With 3M's Ultraflex Window System, you can enhance the overall performance of 3M's Scotchshield™ Ultra Safety & Security window films.

This unique system combines the elasticity of 3M's Scotchshield™ Ultra Safety & Security window film (140%) and a Dow Corning® 995 Silicone Structural Adhesive system (160%) to create a more stretchable membrane that helps capture and absorb the impact energy.

3M's Ultraflex allows the frame to bend and twist to accommodate a variety of stresses to increase personal safety from flying glass. Ultraflex replaces the gaskets and blends with the existing frame system. For ease of use, the Ultraflex Window System offers a simple, more cost-effective attachment system when compared to bulky mechanical batten alternatives.

Tested in compliance with the US General Services Administration's (GSA) test standard protocol and Factory Mutual (FM) FMRC 4350, Ultraflex is an innovative approach to a tough job, making sure the filmed glass system stays in the frame upon impact and cycling.
