    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevlar

    Kevlar (para-aramid) [2] is a strong, heat-resistant synthetic fiber, related to other aramids such as Nomex and Technora.Developed by Stephanie Kwolek at DuPont in 1965, [3] [2] [4] the high-strength material was first used commercially in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tires.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_nylon

    The original specification for ballistic nylon was an 18 oz (510 g) nylon fabric made from 1050 denier high tenacity nylon yarn in a 2×2 basketweave. Today it may be any nylon fabric made with a "ballistic weave", typically a 2×2 or 2×3 basketweave. It can be woven from nylon yarns of various denier such as 840 denier and 1680 denier.

    Twaron is a para-aramid and has automotive, construction, sports, aerospace, and military applications, e.g., in modern body armor, fabric, and as an asbestos substitute. Protective gear (heat resistant / ballistics) flame-resistant clothing, protective clothing and helmets, cut-fast or heat-hardy gloves, sporting goods, textiles, ballistic vests

  6. Bulletproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletproofing

    Bullet-resistant materials (also called ballistic materials or, equivalently, anti-ballistic materials) are usually rigid, but may be supple. They may be complex, such as Kevlar, UHMWPE, Lexan, or carbon fiber composite materials, or basic and simple, such as steel or titanium. Bullet resistant materials are often used in law enforcement and ...

  7. Bulletproof vest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletproof_vest

    The ballistic panels are covered in a coated pouch or slip. This slip provides the encapsulation of the ballistic materials. Slips are manufactured in two types: heat sealed hermetic slips and simple sewn slips. For some ballistic fibers such as Kevlar the slip is a critical part of the system. The slip prevents moisture from the user's body ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interceptor_Multi-Threat...

    The IBA system consists of an Outer Tactical Vest (OTV) and two Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI) ballistic plates. The OTV features a carrier shell, and three main (flexible) ballistic panel inserts (front left and front right panels, and a rear back panel), [4] which are made with a finely woven Kevlar KM2 fiber. These two parts of the vest ...
