Twaron LFT SB1 Twaron UD41 The past years have brought many improvements in ballistic protection materials. Today’s lightweight protective vests need to meet a complex set of requirements, including Teijin Aramid’s approach, combining low-crimp woven products with low resin content, both bullet and stab protection. Solutions based on Twaron Unidirectional Laminate UD41 has resulted in Twaron Laminated Fabric Technology SB1 (LFT SB1) – a thin, very flexible – or those combining UD41 with other Twaron materials – offer several advantages for laminate comprising two fabric layers sandwiched...

Twaron LFT-AT/AT Flex Twaron Sideguard® The primary objective of a ballistic pack is clear – to stop the bullet. But in a number of In the past, thickly layered and quilted ballistic fabrics provided protection against bullets situations, the resultant blunt trauma remains an obvious and unwelcome problem. and shrapnel (hot weapons), but not against blades, knifes and needles (cold weapons). The answer was the next generation of laminate technology - specially coated, layered In light of this, Teijin Aramid Ballistic Engineering has developed a material permitting an fabrics that could...
