Sparfax mirror lenses are manufactured from injection moulded optical grade polycarbonate. Optically perfect and stable in all conditions, day or night, without distortion, Spafax lenses are unbreakable and safe to use. Outperforming glass, acrylic and steel lenses and offering unmatched longevity, our lenses will not discolour and yellow with the effect of Ultra Violet rays present in sunlight. Each lens is sealed and protected by a special coating, which provides scratch resistance and will repel condensation and surface water.

The bodies of Sparfax mirror are produced by moulding specially toughened UV stabilised low temperature polypropylene and are designed to minimise vibration and to cut down wind buffeting. Unlike rigid metal or easily broken ABS plastic, which are the low-cost options used by other commercial mirror manufacturers, our polypropylene bodies are flexible and are engineered to withstand the harshest operational conditions.

     
Robust, rugged and constructed using self-extinguishing compounds, Spafax mirrors offer unrivalled performance for military users and the security and emergency services.
The images show the entry and exit points on a Spafax VM100 unbreakable mirror made by two standard military issue 5.56mm bullets, fired from a distance of 40 feet. The mirror continues to reflect a true and bright image and all components remain fully serviceable.
     
Robust, rugged and constructed using self-extinguishing compounds, Spafax mirrors offer unrivalled performance for military users and the security and emergency services.

As glass, acrylic and polished steel mirrors continue to be discounted as viable military options due to limited service life and poor performance, Spafax mirrors are increasingly adopted as the obvious economic and safe choice by the world’s military users and Original Equipment Manufacturers.

Remaining serviceable under the severest operational conditions, including weapon recoil, ballistic detonation and even direct ballistic impact, a Spafax mirror can work where others can’t and at a fraction of the real cost.
