80% of Ballistic Glass from HPC is Exported. Running for three years in Brazil, the glass division of HPC supplies armoring factories with export kits for companies in other countries such as the United States, Venezuela, Ecuador, El Salvador, Kuwait, and Iraq.
According to Pedro Paulo Martins, the president of HPC Glass, exports take up 80% of production. The two biggest differences in glass production is for all the different levels of ballistic resistance, including level six, which protects against heavy weapons like M16, AK 47, and M80.
Armored glass from HPC has a polycarbonate material as its main component, which is tens of times more resistant that acrylic, and doesn’t cause distortions. In a modern industrial park, 9,000 meters squared, located in Itaquaquecetuba, in the Greater Sao Paulo, the company operates seven ovens and two autoclaves, developing matrices for armored glass with the same curvature as original auto glass, preventing the loss of the glass’s
silkscreen.
