38871bgs2jpg_00000017995.jpgWhen hurricanes or other high-wind conditions shatter glass in windows, a new foam can secure the broken glass in seconds. Called Broken Glass Stabilizer (BGS), the spray-applied foam quickly fuses hazardous, shattered glass into a safe panel. At the touch of a button, user can trap glass shards into a solid, manageable form, within the window frame, as well as add a weather-tight seal to patch window holes. The foam offers an on-site way to prevent injuries from broken glass, as well as eliminate time-consuming glass cleanup. Serving as an ideal addition to hurricane preparedness supplies, BGS caters to maintenance crews who repair shattered windows at a variety of sites, including government buildings, transit stations, and schools. Available from Aranar Glass Technologies, LLC, located in West Palm Beach, FL, BGS comes in kits that cover spray areas of 24 or 240 sq. ft. Each kit comes with two separate, pressurized containers of polyurethane-based, compressed-gas chemicals, as well as a mixing gun, hose, and spray nozzles. The foam can also be used to mend vehicle windows or preserve crime-scene evidence involving broken glass. Aranar Glass Technologies, LLC, West Palm Beach, FL
