Using carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials called Auxilam, the British PPSS Group has developed a new type of protective breastplate product that can help the wearer escape the most violent and brutal weapon attacks imaginable.
Combining the high strength of carbon fiber, the bulging performance of Auxilam composite materials (referring to the performance of vertical expansion when stretched and / or the contraction of vertical direction when extruded) and special structural properties, the new generation of protective breastplates weighs , Protection, defense and durability have found a perfect balance.
PPSS Group said that compared with its highly praised polycarbonate-based stab-resistant vest, the thickness of the new product has been reduced by 19% (using a 3.9mm thick carbon fiber composite material), and the areal density and weight have been reduced by 6.6%.
Of course, according to the provisions of the British Home Office body armor standard, the product still needs to pass the KR2 / SP2 standard, NIJ level 2 and VPAM K2 / D2 standard certification, which means that it will be able to provide a higher level of knife protection.
Government departments and security companies will be able to choose from a variety of protective breastplates such as concealed, exposed, and fully exposed.
PPSS Group CEO Robert Kaiser said: "Enforcement, border defense, customs, immigration officials may suffer from various knives and hypodermic syringes every day. The purpose of the development of this product is to hope to protect them more effectively. The most advanced After extensive research and development, our latest breastplate product can provide unprecedented protection for the wearer. At the same time, the product will also provide additional VPAM certified blunt protection to effectively reduce the risk of blunt trauma such as internal bleeding . "
Over the past ten years, the British company has provided highly acclaimed polycarbonate anti-stab vest products to security agencies around the world
