Ballistic Lightweight Armor Plates

As global security forces experience new and evolving lethal threats, the need to provide enhanced protection at lighter weights has become increasingly important. New armor systems not only have to provide protection to security professionals, but also to the various ground vehicles, maritime platforms and aircraft used in carrying out the required mission.

Thanks to the uniquely engineered properties of Endumax® Shield XF33 it is the material of choice for improved survivability designed to meet the highest demands in terms of ballistic protection and low weight. In particular, Endumax® Shield XF33 has a unique material composition of low resin contents combined with high modulus material characteristics, leading to improved structural stability and overall performance.

Larger panels enable design freedomComplex shapes of ground and air vehicles or maritime vessels may complicate the armor integration design, potentially increasing the need for seams or joints. Thanks to the high level of ballistic performance achieved even with low processing pressures, the use of Endumax® Shield XF33 enables easier fabrication of larger panels with minimum or no seams. As a result, this minimizes potentially vulnerable joints and increases design freedom for optimum panel cuts, thereby making the solution more cost-efficient.
