C-Bond’s technology is protected by 23 patents and patent-pending applications.

C-Bond’s windshield strengthener, C-Bond nanoShield™, is a first of its kind solution that protects and strengthens windshields by permeating the glass surface and repairing the microscopic flaws and defects on the glass that ultimately initiate chipping and cracking. The strengthening process begins immediately upon application and continues while the material cures in the following days. The product is easy to apply and is sprayed on and squeegeed off.

C-Bond Secure is a glass strengthening primer and window film mounting solution that is used in conjunction with security film on architectural glass to deter forced entry and other crime. C-Bond Secure increases the strength of the underlying glass using patented nanotechnology and when used in conjunction with security window film, C-Bond Secure helps to prevent break-ins.

Patriot Glass Solutions also offers C-Bond BRS, a ballistic-resistant film system that includes C-Bond’s patented glass strengthening technology and security film to help stop bullets from penetrating glass.
