Armor & Bullet Proof Panel Manufacturing
A unique ceramic-polymer based lightweight panel concept, capable of resisting extreme dynamic loads from ballistic and blast impacts. The composite material technology is a lightweight structure which is based on an extremely flexible polymer binder that provides structural integrity. The active elements in the panels are the disrupter (ceramic front) and the absorber (fiber reinforced polymer composite backing), to meter, mix and dispense the 2-component polyurethane that forms the absorber element.
The added facility of color injection. The homogenously mixed material is injected into the moulds using a twin valve fitted with a disposable static mixer. Additionally, the machine is equipped with a level control system for the feed tanks, which are also fitted with agitation in order to keep the materials in prime condition.
The result is a panel certified to NATO standards that can be used as armor for military vehicles, vessels, and helicopters as well as body armor, that over the last decade has proven to be the ultimate ballistic protection material.
