The new XDS technology from Saud Bahwan Automotive

Turn your existing glass into an impenetrable shield with the revolutionary XDS glass protection system

Get to know XDS! It is a patented glass protection system composed of a polyester laminate and a high temperature acrylic adhesive. This film provides all the benefits of a high quality sun control film (Protection from solar heat and UV radiations). Apart from this, it enhances the strength of the glass and thereby converts the glass into a strong protective shield. In case of accidents, the glass remains intact in its frame, thus avoiding any injury to the person inside the vehicle.

Tested, proven and chosen
Installed in over 37 countries worldwide, XDS is endorsed and used by law enforcement agencies. It has been tested extensively by military and government institutions in many countries, protects key government buildings, military and civilian installations, and vehicles.

Here’s precisely how it works
There are two parts to the system: A super-touch Mylar Polyester with a scratch-resistant coating: A specially formulated proprietary high temperature acrylic adhesive, which when applied to the glass, actually penetrates the glass pores, gets absorbed, and hardens; strengthening the glass itself. There is also an additional Acryl-X coating applied to the outside in case of automobiles. Result? The same glass now becomes so strong, it actually repels objects hurled at it; including bricks, fire bombs, etc. In case of car accidents, it reduces the likelihood of injuries from flying glass by over 80 per cent. In fact, in certain thicknesses, it even becomes bullet resistant.

Your shield against heat and UV radiation
The XDS Glass Protection System (GPS) keeps out up to 80 per cent of the heat from sunlight, which means greater comfort and energy efficiency, resulting in savings through reduced electricity costs. It absorbs almost 100 per cent of the harmful ultraviolet rays, preventing long term fading of furniture, carpets, shop displays and other car/building interiors.

The XDS Glass Protection System (GPS) will improve employee productivity by providing a uniform and comfortable temperature across the entire office while cutting down on the strong glare coming through windows. The XDS Glass Protection (GPS) will enhance the beauty of buildings, shops and vehicles while providing privacy to the occupants.

Your shield against the forces of nature
Storms, hail, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis… name it you’re protected from them all. It is proven that even when there is sufficient force to break glass, the XDS Glass Protection System (GPS) holds up to 95 per cent of the fragments together, preventing injury from shattered glass, while also providing protection from fire, water, etc.

Your shield against attack
Whether it is a burglary or armed robbery, glass windows are the easiest point of entry. Alarms can only go as far as drawing attention. That’s why you need the protective shielding power of the XDS Glass Protection System (GPS). It at least delays – if not prevents – entry long enough for help to arrive.
