POLYUREA BALLISTIC PROTECTION

From bulletproof vests to vehicle armor, soldiers, policemen, and other types of security personnel use many different forms of ballistic protection to shield themselves from the dangers of high-velocity projectiles. In recent years, advanced composite materials have become an exciting area of research, offering new and improved solutions for more robust ballistic protection. This involves combining or incorporating two or more different materials into a single composition, amplifying their benefits and unlocking new impact-resistant properties. One material that’s been increasingly thrown into the mix is polyurea, one of the coatings industry’s most prolific high-performance protective coatings. Spray on polyurea formulations can work in conjunction with numerous other materials systems, creating a fully encompassing composite material for state-of-the-art ballistic protection.
