Teijin Aramid and ballistic protection

 

The intensity of threatening environments for law enforcement, emergency responders and defense forces around the world is becoming higher and the people operating in these hostile environments need to take greater care than ever. This growing threat of violence has led to an increasing demand for ballistic protection.

Soft ballistic protection Aramid Fabrics

The threats to modern armies and law enforcement forces have multiplied, creating the need for protection from all kinds of bullets and fragments as well as stabbing with sharp objects. And these days it’s not only soldiers and policemen who are facing increased threats; prison guards,cash carriers and private individuals also need to be protected. The market is seeking better protection and greater comfort. Many of today’s protective vests are made of Twaron and Endumax, which provide enhanced protection, more comfort and advantageous performance to weight ratios.

Twaron and Endumax-based armoring products are successfully used in military and police applications from helicopters to tanks, trucks, vessels, armored personnel carriers and patrol cars

 

Custom-built solutions

At Teijin Aramid, we co-develop custom-built solutions, together with our customers. Thanks to our own dedicated R&D and test facilities, we have been able to develop advanced new materials such as Laminated Fabric Technology (LFT). Over the years we also developed sandwich constructions, which combine ballistic protection with protection against stabbing and front panels tailored to the needs of women soldiers.
