UL 752 Level 6
Bullet-Resistant Panels
Modern ballistic protection demands composite materials capable of stopping high-velocity rounds without adding prohibitive structural weight. For procurement teams and AEC professionals, balancing structural integrity with architectural design remains an ongoing challenge. Traditional building materials fail to stop high-velocity submachine gun ammunition, leaving commercial and institutional facilities vulnerable. ArmorCore manufactures multi-ply ballistic fiberglass wall panels that integrate directly into standard wall assemblies. By delaminating upon impact to absorb and dissipate kinetic energy, these opaque fiberglass panels achieve strict UL 752 ballistic ratings while maintaining a thin profile.
Applications of Level 6 Bullet-Resistant Fiberglass
High-risk facilities require concealed protection integrated into standard wall and millwork configurations. Because lightweight composite sheets fit behind drywall, wood veneers, or custom millwork, contractors can easily integrate protection without altering interior aesthetics.
Level 6 wall panels are routinely specified across several key commercial and institutional environments:
- Corporate & government facilities. Lobbies, executive suites, and administrative areas where personnel protection is paramount.
- Financial & retail institutions. Underneath teller counters, transaction windows, and back-office containment zones.
- Healthcare & education. Hardened entrance vestibules, emergency rooms, and shelter-in-place areas
On active job sites, trade contractors can cut these panels using standard carpenter tools to fit around electrical conduits, HVAC runs, and plumbing lines.
Key Advantages of ArmorCore Level 6 Panels
ArmorCore Level 6 wall panels offer significant structural and safety advantages over traditional steel armor plating:
- Reduced dead load. Composite panels weigh significantly less than steel, eliminating the need for expensive structural retrofits or foundation reinforcement.
- Efficient jobsite handling. Lighter weight lowers freight costs, simplifies crane and elevator transport on multi-story jobs, and speeds up framing installation.
- Spall & ricochet protection. Multi-ply fiberglass delaminates upon impact to capture high-velocity projectiles within the matrix, preventing dangerous ricochets and ricochet spall.
- Fire safety compliance. Panels feature an ASTM E84 Class A fire rating, enabling compliance with strict interior building codes without compromising protection
UL 752 Level 6 Specifications
UL 752 standard testing provides standard metrics for evaluating architectural ballistic materials. To earn UL 752 Level 6 certification, a panel must defeat a specific multi-round high-velocity threat.
UL 752 Level 6 technical test parameters include:
- Weapon / Ammunition: 9mm Full Metal Copper Jacket (FMCJ)
- Grain weight: 124 grains
- Velocity range: 1,400 to 1,540 feet per second (fps)
- Test protocol: Minimum 5 impacts within a tight shot pattern
- Pass criteria: Zero backside penetration and zero spall generation
