Solutions
Lightweight and durable ballistic solutions
Twaron®-reinforced ballistic solutions provide lightweight, high-strength protection for professionals facing diverse threats. With advanced resistance to impact, environmental stress, and wear, Twaron® excels in both soft ballistics and insert plates, delivering optimal durability and lightweight protection in critical applications.
Soft ballistic vests
High-risk professionals need protective solutions that combine lightweight comfort with reliable protection against bullets, fragments and blade threats.
Twaron®-reinforced soft ballistic vests deliver advanced trauma reduction with low back-face deformation (BFD), exceptional durability under mechanical and environmental stress, and lasting performance for daily wear in critical situations.
Insert plates
In environments with rifle and high-velocity threats, protection must withstand repeated impact and extreme temperatures.
Twaron®-reinforced insert plates offer reliable multi-hit protection, reduced BFD for trauma control, and flexibility for complex shapes, providing high-performance resilience for intense conditions.
Product value
Twaron® body armor - at the core of superior protection
Ballistic armor demands strength, resilience, and effective energy dissipation. Twaron® delivers high-impact resistance and exceptional energy absorption, providing reliable protection against ballistic threats. With durable performance against mechanical stress, Twaron® ensures armor that lasts, instilling confidence in every mission.
Strong
High-impact resistance and trauma reduction for reliable, all-round safety.
Lightweight
Thinner, lighter solutions for stronger, and more comfortable protection.
Durable
Built to withstand tough environments, delivering consistent performance over time.
Flexible
Enhanced drapability for complex shapes allows greater freedom of movement.
Sustainability
Building sustainable ballistic solutions
Twaron® aramid fibers support a more sustainable approach to ballistic protection with PFAS-free EC0 water-repellent treatment and end-of-life (EOL) recycling options. Through Twaron® Respun, we extend material life and reduce carbon emissions, creating protection that benefits both people and the planet. Our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), conducted according to ISO 14040 and 14044 standards, underscores the measurable environmental impact of these solutions.
