Packexe SMASH has been developed with a specifically formulated adhesive, appropriate for holding glass, protecting both the casualty and rescue team from glass fragments and dust. The adhesive grips equally well in all weather conditions, wet or dry.
With perforations set at every 100mm, Packexe SMASH film is easily detached from the roll. Rescuers have the flexibility of using Packexe SMASH film in small sections to cover awkward areas, such as quarter lights. Perforated film ensures accurate application, which in turn reduces wastage.
Tests undertaken by Exeter Advanced Technologies at the University of Exeter in July 2009 prove that the strength of glass is almost doubled with the application of Packexe SMASH, reducing the risk of breakage by approximately 42%.
Having successfully gone beyond designing a product to aid glass management, Packexe has streamlined the whole process. By reinforcing the glass, Packexe SMASH has eliminated the need to forcibly break and remove it. It is recommended that Packexe SMASH is applied to all glass identified as a risk upon arrival at an RTC to make it safe before extrication starts.

The unique dispenser completes the Packexe SMASH system, which is currently the subject of a patent application. Ergonomically designed and easy to use, Packexe SMASH can be applied in seconds by just one person. The full system has been designed to bring control and speed to the application process.
Double foam rollers follow the vehicle contours for smooth coverage, minimising air bubbles. The roller technology brings the film into direct contact with the glass, allowing Packexe SMASH to perform equally well in windy conditions. Wet weather conditions are tackled with the combined pressure and motion of the rollers, which push water off the surface as the film is applied.
