BULLETPROOF PROTECTION MATERIALS USED
SERIES A. Standard weight 3.3kg (For Large Size)
* KEVLAR™ a high-tech Aramid fiber, which has been responsible in preventing the death or serious injury of thousands of law enforcement officers.
Pound for pound Kevlar is five times stronger than steel, has very high stretch resistance and will not melt.
Bullet resistant vests made of Kevlar brand fiber are thin lightweight and concealable.
Over the past 25 years Cupont has introduced innovative technology to enhance its fibers, such as those used in Kevlar 29, Kevlar 129, KM-2 and Kevlar LT.
Designed for everyday wear, soft body armor made of Kevlar helps protect against the low and medium-energy hand guns most often used by assailants.
Today's vests using Kevlar designed to protect against threat levels as high as IIIA per the NIJ.
Kevlar brand fibers are manufactured by bundling many thin fibers together to form an extremely strong yarn which is then tightly woven into a fabric.
When struck by a bullet the fibers absorb the impact energy and disperse it to other fibers in the weave.
This energy dissipation prevents bullet penetration and minimizes the severity of Blunt Trauma.
SERIES B. Medium weight 2.5kg (For Large Size)
* TWARON® Until recently, effective body protection was an uncomfortable compromise between ballist protection and restricted freedom of movement.
The need for such a compromise was swept away when a new generation of fibers was developed at Teijin Twaron.
Twaron CT Microfilament is a highly resistant Aramid fiber made from 1,000 individual filaments with and extremely fine filament diameter.
This means up to 50% more filaments than in traditional Aramid yarns.
The use of Twaron CT Microfilament in bullet resistant vests - patented by Teijin Twaron® makes protective clothing lighter, more flexible, and easier to wear.
In short, the most efficient protection system on the market today>
The primary task of the protective material is to absorb ballistic energy in the shortest possible time.
This is achieved through Twaron's® high energy absorption, high tenacity, and high modulus of elasticity, which permits rapid dispersion of the deformation waves.
Synergistic effects also result from the huge number of individual filaments.
Bullet resistant, lightweight, and comfortable body armor made from Twaron® is used throughout the world today;
by the police (protection against direct fire)
and by military personnel (mainly as protection against fragments caused by explosives).
* Weights are Based upon Level IIIA Bulletproof Vest.
