A ballistic panel is described that comprises a ballistic-resistant component and a cover that comprises a laminate comprising (i) a substrate layer and (ii) an inner bonding layer. The cover is bonded to at least one surface of the ballistic-resistant component by the inner bonding layer of the laminate, and is bonded around the perimeter of the ballistic resistant component to form a perimeter seal. A method for making the ballistic panel is also described. L'invention porte sur un panneau pare-balles, qui comprend un composant résistant aux projectiles et un revêtement qui comprend un stratifié comprenant (i) une couche de substrat et (ii) une couche de liaison interne. Le revêtement est relié à au moins une surface du composant résistant aux projectiles par la couche de liaison interne du stratifié, et est relié autour de la périphérie du composant résistant aux projectiles de façon à former un scellement périphérique. L'invention porte également sur un procédé de fabrication du panneau pare-balles.
