Ballistic protection refers to the protection of the body and eyes against bullets of various shapes, sizes and impact velocities. This type of protection is often required by soldiers, police and general security personnel.
Textile materials used today now provide the same level of ballistic protection as metals. They also have a relatively low weight and are quite comfortable to wear.
Most of the casualties during military conflicts or explosions are due to substances dispersed by the impact of the explosion and hitting the body. During wars, only 19 percent of losses are from bullets, 59 percent from fragments, and 22 percent from other causes. The number of people who die as a result of ballistic impact decreases by 19 percent by wearing helmets, by 40 percent by wearing armor, and by 65 percent by wearing helmeted armor. High performance suits for ballistic protection dissipate the energy of flying particles by stretching and breaking the threads and transferring the energy from the impact to the cross points of the threads.
The ballistic protection of a material depends on two criteria:
In recent years, aromatic polyamide fibers such as ultra-high modulus polyethylene have been used for ballistic protection. Today, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composites reinforced with different filling materials are being developed for aerospace, industrial and biomedical applications.
More important to any body armor wearer than the performance of the protective equipment is having quality protection that meets high industry standards. In order to make the right decisions about personal protection, it is necessary to know the ballistic values of the protection equipment used.
The different ballistic protection levels are determined as follows:
Our organization also provides ballistic protection equipment testing services with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
