Bullet- and splinter-proof vests

Bullet- and splinter-proof vests

Bullet- and splinter-proof vests are mostly manufactured by hot pressing them of prepregs. Vests are produced with an attempt to have them contain as much reinforcement as possible. Reinforcement can be glass or aramid tissue. Matrix can be chosen according to objective. Vests can typically contain over 80 % reinforcement content.

Vests are built according to required protection class and our raw material supplier is available for structural analysis and layer determination. Structures may also be composites, when e.g. bulletproof vests have a tough material layer on the surface which is attached with composite vest. Vests are cut with water jet and abrasive.
