laminated glass
Shatter-resistant window material
Laminated glass is safety glass made by bonding layers of glass with a plastic interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral.
When broken, the fragments adhere to the interlayer rather than scattering dangerously.
Windshields use laminated glass; side windows typically don't.
The bullet cracked but didn't penetrate the laminated glass.
