When basic safety isn’t enough, step up to 3M™ Safety S80. This 8-mil, dual-ply window film is engineered for serious protection — holding shattered glass together under high-impact scenarios including seismic events, windstorm debris, and even bomb blast conditions. With double the break strength of the S40 and the highest safety glazing impact rating at 400 ft-lbs, S80 delivers the confidence that your building’s most vulnerable surfaces are reinforced against real-world threats. Applied to interior glass, it remains optically clear, blocks 99% of UV rays, and can be paired with 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment systems for maximum performance.
Highlights
Heavy-duty 8-mil dual-ply construction delivers 200 lbs/in break strength — twice the holding power of standard safety film for superior shatter resistance
Optically clear film maintains your building’s natural appearance — serious protection that’s virtually invisible once installed
Passes the highest safety glazing impact test at 400 ft-lbs (CPSC Category 2, ANSI Z97.1 Class A Unlimited) — certified for the most demanding applications
Combine with 3M™ Impact Protection Attachment (IPA) Systems for windstorm, forced entry, and explosion mitigation applications
GSA Level 2 rated for bomb blast mitigation — independently tested and certified for minimal hazard under blast conditions
Scratch-resistant hardcoat provides long-term durability and easy maintenance with standard window cleaning solutions
Blocks up to 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays — protecting occupants and interiors from sun damage and premature fading
Backed by a comprehensive warranty from 3M — limited lifetime for residential, 10 years for commercial installations
