“2021 was a pivotal year for C-Bond as we acquired 80% of A1 Glass Coating and its outstanding team of individuals and together established Patriot Glass Solutions,” said Scott R.

“We also significantly strengthened our IP protection for C-Bond nanoShield and have been working on new initiatives to position that product for growth including a dedicated website and new distribution channels. We look forward to sharing additional information about those initiatives soon,” continued Silverman.

C-Bond’s glass strengthening protection solutions, including C-Bond Secure, an application to deter forced entry, and C-Bond BRS, a ballistic-resistant system, have been installed in more than 90 schools, government buildings, media sites, and other high-security facilities around the country. C-Bond’s technology is protected by 23 patents and patent pending applications.

C-Bond’s windshield strengthener, C-Bond nanoShield™, is a first of its kind solution that protects and strengthens windshields by permeating the glass surface and repairing the microscopic flaws and defects on the glass that ultimately initiate chipping and cracking. The strengthening process begins immediately upon application and continues while the material cures in the following days. The product is easy to apply and is sprayed on and squeegeed off.
