UL 752 Level 7
Bullet Resistant Barriers
As part of ArmorCore’s offerings, we deliver UL 752 Level 7 bullet-resistant barriers that provide the advanced protection required in the most high-threat environments. These panels combine durability, performance, and reliability where standard glass or lower-rated barriers may fall short. Since 1996, ArmorCore by Waco Composites has operated with one sole purpose: producing high-quality fiberglass ballistic-resistant panels through efficient processes and with a commitment to excellent customer service.
Applications of Level 7 Bullet-Resistant Fiberglass
UL 752 Level 7 bullet-resistant barriers from ArmorCore are most commonly used to stop multiple shots from assault rifles with muzzle energies of 1158-1402 foot-pounds (1570-1901J). This level of defense is essential in environments where elevated risks exist.
Typical applications include:
- Grid Safety & Substations. Preventing damage to critical infrastructure in high-threat areas.
- Military Installations. Protecting against modern rifle fire in active defense environments.
- Government Facilities. Embassies, courthouses, and federal buildings requiring higher security measures.
- Commercial Security. Data centers, banks, and other facilities where valuable assets must be protected.
While lower-level panels such as UL 752 Level 3 are frequently used in schools, retail environments, or offices, Level 7 ballistic protection is recommended when rifle-caliber threats are likely or when longer-range risks are present.
Benefits of ArmorCore’s Level 7 Panels
ArmorCore’s UL 752 Level 7 bullet-resistant barriers are designed with both safety and usability in mind. Through superior craftsmanship, the use of quality materials, and ongoing product testing, each panel is guaranteed to meet strict ballistic performance standards.
Key benefits of ArmorCore Level 7 bulletproof glass and panels include:
- Lightweight Compared to Steel Alternatives.
- Cost-Effective Installation.
- Custom Waterjet Cutting Capabilities to Meet Complex Requirements.
- Fast Lead Times.
Technical Specifications
- Nominal Thickness: 1-1/8 in.
- Nominal Weight: 11.7 lbs per sq. ft.
- Ammunition Tested: 55 grain (3.56 g) 5.56 mm rifle (full metal copper jacket with lead core).
- Minimum Velocity: 3,080 (939 mps).
- Panel Sizes: 3′ x 8′, 3′ x 9′, 3′ x 10′, 4′ x 8′, 4′ x 9′, 4′ x 10′, 5′ x 8′, 5′ x 9′, 5′ x 10′.
Every panel is non-spalling, non-conductive, and designed to capture the bullet, preventing ricochets or dangerous fragmentation. This ensures the highest level of reliability in real-world installations.
Why Level 7 Bullet-Resistant Barriers Are Critical
Level 7 UL 752 ballistic standards are widely recognized for rating the effectiveness of bullet-resistant materials. Within this system, UL 752 Level 7 is specifically designed to resist multiple shots from high-powered rifles such as the AR-15 or other military-style assault rifles. Unlike lower levels, which are tested primarily with handguns, Level 7 panels provide ballistic protection against rifle-caliber fire.
It is important to understand the distinction between bullet-resistant and bulletproof. No material is entirely “bulletproof” under every condition. UL 752 Level 7 bullet-resistant barriers are engineered to resist penetration from specific threats, giving facilities dependable protection, but they cannot guarantee immunity against every weapon or scenario.
Security for critical environments, such as substations, government buildings, and defense facilities, depends on barriers that meet these rigorous standards. Key threats mitigated by Level 7 bulletproof glass and panels include:
- Assault Rifles
- Semi-Automatic Rifles
- Handguns
- Long-Range Ballistic Threats
