Projectile penetration resistance assemblies

An automotive window treatment kit that provides unidirectional penetration resistance to treated windows, the treatment kit comprising:

• a glass treatment assembly comprising:
• a blowback sheet configured to be applied to the first side of a window, the blowback sheet consisting of a multi-ply film, the first side of the window being untreated;
• a binder coat configured to be applied to a second side of the window, the binder coat being an adhesive layer, the second side of the window being untreated;
• a resistant layer applied to the binder coat;
• and
• a top coat applied to the resistant layer, the top coat being a scratch resistant coat, wherein the blowback sheet, the window, the binder coat, the resistant layer, and the top coat form a transparent assembly in an ordered arrangement, wherein the blowback sheet and the top coat are outermost layers on opposing sides of the assembly in the ordered arrangement, and wherein configuration of the assembly in the ordered arrangement prevents penetration of projectiles through the assembly in a first direction and allows penetration of projectiles through the assembly in a second direction that is axially aligned with and opposite to the first direction,
• wherein the multi-ply film is triple-ply PET film;
• a gasket assembly comprising:
• a gasket member that defines at least one slot configured to extend about at least a portion of a perimeter of the window;
• and
• a mount bracket assembly that is configured to mount a supplemental window adjacent at least one window of the car, the bracket assembly comprising:
• a main body having a first end and a second end;
• a first arm extending outwardly from a first surface of the main body at the first end of the main body;
• a second arm extending outwardly from the first surface of the main body at the second end of the main body;
• a receiving slot disposed between the first arm and the second arm, the receiving slot configured to receive the supplemental window;
• and
• a third arm extending outwardly from a second surface of the main body at the second end of the main body.

A method of providing unidirectional projectile penetration resistance to glass, the method comprising:

• applying a blowback layer to a first side of a generally planar glass surface, the blowback layer consisting of a multi-ply film, the first side of the generally planar glass surface being untreated;
• applying a binder coat layer to a second side of the generally planar glass surface, the binder coat layer being an adhesive layer, the second side of the generally planar glass surface being untreated;
• applying a resistance layer to the binder coat layer such that the binder coat layer is disposed between the resistance layer and the generally planar glass surface;
• and
• applying a top coat layer to the resistance layer, the top coat layer being a scratch resistant coat, such that the resistance layer is disposed between the binder coat layer and the top coat layer and such that the blowback layer, the generally planar glass surface, the binder coat layer, the resistance layer, and the top coat layer form a transparent assembly configured in an ordered arrangement, wherein the blowback sheet layer and the top coat layer are outermost layers on opposing sides of the assembly in the ordered arrangement, and wherein configuration of the assembly in the ordered arrangement prevents penetration of projectiles through the assembly in a first direction from the top coat layer toward the blowback sheet-layer and allows penetration of projectiles through the assembly in a second direction that is axially aligned with and opposite to the first direction,
• wherein the multi-ply film is triple-ply PET film.
