In the world of ballistic protection, you have to stay ahead of the curve. Polyurea coatings are the game changer in this space, durability, flexibility and performance. As a ballistic professional, understanding the benefits and applications of polyurea coatings can help you get ahead and be protected in the worst case scenarios.
the power of polyurea
Polyurea coatings are super strong and super resilient, perfect for ballistic protection. With tensile strength up to 6,000 psi and elongation up to 300%, polyurea coatings can withstand ballistic threats and stay structural integrity. This is way beyond traditional coatings, protecting people and assets.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND
OUR CASE STUDY
We recently ran a case study to test the polyurea in ballistic protection. We applied polyurea coatings to different surfaces, armored vehicles and protective structures and saw significant improvement in impact resistance and blast mitigation. The results are self explanatory, polyurea coatings are unmatched in real world scenarios.
BALLISTIC PROTECTION USING POLYUREA: CASE STUDY
Various thicknesses of a typical aromatic polyurea elastomer were impacted with various projectiles. Read the step by step process of this case study below.
- Military and Security Installations: Our coatings are used in military vehicles, equipment and facilities. They help to harden structures against explosion shockwaves and debris, providing an extra layer of protection in war zones and other high risk military environments.
- STEP 1: First we shot bare concrete bricks with a .38 Special and 9mm firearm.
- STEP 2:Next we coated the concrete structure with 1/8 inch of ArmorThane’s protective coating. We placed gel blocks in front of the blocks and shot the same guns at the target. This time the bullet couldn’t penetrate the structure and actually reversed direction back into the gel before finally exiting out the back end of the block.
