Twaron UD41 - enhancing protective vests Combined threats The rising threat of violence in society has led to increasing demand for ballistic protection. The trend is toward lightweight comfortable vests, which need to meet more complex requirements. The number of recently published or modified protection standards that combine bullet and stab protection calls for sophisticated hybrid solutions. Our high-performance aramid fiber Twaron is an essential component of modern protective vests. Providing enhanced protection, more comfort and advantageous performance/ weight ratios, solutions based on neat Twaron Unidirectional Laminate UD41 – or those combining UD41 with other Twaron materials – offer a number of advantages for engineering your ballistic protective vests. Key benefits when using Twaron • rotects against penetration of bullets P and fragments • Lower weight, greater comfort • nhanced performance when combined E with other Twaron products in hybrid vests

Unidirectional solution Twaron UD41 is an innovated Unidirectional (UD) Laminate available for soft body armor. Consisting of four plies of unidirectional Twaron fiber lines plied in a 0°/90°/0°/90° configuration, it makes full use of the high fiber tenacity, avoiding typical woven crimp of material. Smart UD technology aligns the Twaron fibers in each layer in a parallel direction. Each layer is individually constructed within the resin matrix and thermoplastic film is laminated to the top and bottom of the four UD plies to ensure maximum abrasion resistance. Compliant with international standards...
