Maximum protection demands maximum engineering. 3M™ Scotchshield™ Ultra S800 features proprietary micro-layered film technology — unlike conventional safety films that rely on thickness alone, Ultra S800 is constructed with hundreds of micro-layers specifically designed for exceptional tear resistance. The result: 215 lbs/in break strength, 1,200 lbs% tear resistance, and GSA-certified “No Hazard” blast performance on tempered glass. When your facility demands the highest level of protection against forced entry, blast events, and catastrophic glass failure, Ultra S800 is the answer — delivering unmatched security while remaining optically clear and blocking 99.9% of UV rays.
Highlights
Proprietary micro-layered construction delivers 1,200 lbs% tear resistance — engineered to resist penetration, not just hold glass fragments together
Blocks 99.9% of harmful UV rays — the highest UV protection in the Safety & Security series, safeguarding occupants and interiors
Industry-leading 215 lbs/in break strength and 27,000 psi tensile strength — the strongest optically clear security film in the 3M lineup
Optically clear with just 3% haze — maximum security without sacrificing natural views or daylight
Achieves GSA Level 2 with “No Hazard” rating on tempered glass — the highest possible blast mitigation performance, independently tested and certified
Ideal for high-security facilities, government buildings, financial institutions, and commercial properties requiring top-tier protection
Tested against large missile impact (ASTM E1886/E1996) and pressure cycling up to ±100 psf — proven protection under extreme real-world conditions
Backed by a comprehensive warranty from 3M — trusted performance from the global leader in safety and security film innovation
