Resistance class up to FB4
Ballistic-resistant high-strength composite plates are made on the basis of polymer resin and glass reinforcement.
Polymer composites have two significant properties beneficial for ballistic protection:
- The fibers resist projectile penetration due to their inherent tensile strength and their initial stiffness as they form reinforcement in the resin matrix.
- Dry fibers stretch upon impact and thus absorb energy. This gives the composites excellent resistance not only to shrapnel but also to small arms fire.
Properties
Low weight
Plates have a significantly lower density compared to metal materials. This allows for easy handling.
Heat insulation
The boards have a low thermal conductivity, which is why they are also a good thermal insulator. They can be used in places with extreme temperatures.
Long life
A characteristic feature is high resistance to aggressive chemicals, resistance to UV radiation and corrosion and resistance to wear.
Colorful design
Additional coating or even coloring in the material (for larger orders). It is possible to use a subsurface mask (wood imitation, etc.).
