[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1990609, member: 796"] Known commercially as ALON, transparent "aluminum" armor is made of aluminum oxynitride, a chemical compound of aluminum, oxygen and nitrogen. The chemical compound more resembles glass than metallic aluminum. "..just as bullet-resistant glass is made of three layers (two panes of glass and a middle pane of polycarbonate), so too is transparent "aluminum" armor. The three layers, consist of the following: 1.An outer layer that's exposed to gunfire and made of baked aluminum oxynitride 2.A middle layer of glass 3.A rear layer of polymer backing" [url]http://science.howstuffworks.com/transparent-aluminum-armor3.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
