Steel body armor spalling. To be blunt we re not talking much money to prevent the possibility of an injury. Conventional body armors are not enough to absorb the kinetic energy of a high speed bullet. It is comprised of a special blend of kevlar that is designed specifically to capture spall or ricochet. Steel core body armor is a fraction of the price of ceramic body armor and it can take significantly more punishment.
Spall armor is made up of multiple layers of ballistics material on the front of the sleeve which is sealed to reduce air water exposure. Full body armor is not worth it. The use of steel plate spall guards is highly recommended in high tension scenarios. Our base coating gave our armor plates a sealed surface to protect it from the elements and provides some frag and spall mitigation.
When we introduced our ar500 armor ballistic plates in 2012 we knew this was something we had to address. Durable and flexible weighing only 7 1oz each. When bare steel is shot frag and spall travel perpendicular to the plate s surface. Adding a helmet or side plates is fine but many soldiers are going in the opposite direction reducing their coverage area in order to be more nimble and comfortable.
However the armor spall guard can do so easily. Steel core body armor is a fraction of the price of ceramic body armor and it can take significantly more punishment. If you want even more assurance you can place your steel core body armor inside one of our spall containment sleeves for extra protection. We also sell liner coated plates and actual promote spall armor to be used in conjunction with coated steel for maximum protection and spall mitigation.
Tactical spall blockers can help you protect yourself against heavy bullet fire. Never use steel armor without an anti spall coating. While it does not contain ballistic properties on its own when used in conjunction with our steel body armor panels it provides an unprecedented level of protection from spall. Made in the u s a.
