Bulletproof security glasses are generally constructed with materials such as polycarbonate, thermoplastic, and laminated glass. These materials make the bulletproof security glass more clear and provide protection from small arms such as bullets. These glasses are treated with continuous heating and cooling to make the glass stronger.

Bulletproof security glasses are majorly applied in the armed force of any country. Other major application of bulletproof security glasses includes military vehicles, automotive industry, unarmored vehicles, civilian buildings, civil bulletproof vehicles. Also used by the marine industry.

Some of the major players operating in the global bulletproof security glass market are China Security Glass AG, PPG Industries Inc., Nippon Sheet Glass Co., Asahi Glass Co. Ltd., Al Abbar Glass and Trading Co., Sisecam Holding Co. and Essex Safety Glass Co.
