High-Performance Ballistic Plate Design with SKYDEX and DYNEEMA Combination
Trauma Reduction Through Innovative Plate Design
SKYDEX has developed a range of energy absorbing materials that challenge conventional compositions and offer a high performance alternative in plate design. With superior energy attenuating capacity and low profile design, SKYDEX is bringing plate innovation to a whole new level.
In 3rd party lab testing with SKYDEX, they witnessed a 48% greater reduction in trauma.
In response to increasing demands on military and law enforcement personnel, ballistic plate manufacturers are challenged to find ways to meet new standards and increase protection without adding burden on the wearer. Manufacturers need to find new approaches that increase protection, without compromising the profile or weight of the plate. SKYDEX materials offer a way to achieve these gains by working with ballistic materials. By tuning the response, they allow for unmatched optimization resulting in lower thickness and weight. More traditional materials also lack in secondary benefits that could greatly enhance performance in the military environment. With features such as improved multi-hit performance, neutrally buoyant, lower heat retention and unmatched durability, SKYDEX is offering a material that can change how manufacturers think about layering material within their plate designs.
SKYDEX Solution
SKYDEX has designed energy attenuating layers for innovative plate design that can be used within traditional ballistic layers to boost armor protection capabilities. With enhanced ballistic performance, SKYDEX is a high performance alternative to other composite materials.
Easily Integrated
SKYDEX can be integrated within the traditional plate layers as an alternative to traditional trauma mitigating materials. Suitable for a wide range of hard armor applications, including NIJ 06 and NIJ 07, SKYDEX material is highly versatile for your innovative design needs. Field proven in body armor, SKYDEX is working to constantly innovate and expand our material offerings. Sold in large sheets of material, specific layouts can be cut for a universal fit to cover all sizes and shapes of ballistic plates. SKYDEX is equipped to take your armor protection to the next level with our market-proven solutions engineered to elevate your products in the market.
Superior Energy Attenuation to Enhance Ballistic Performance
SKYDEX patented technologies have demonstrated significant energy absorption capabilities in ballistic plate applications as shown in testing performed with key industry partners. Testing was conducted to evaluate how SKYDEX Behind Armor Blunt Trauma (BABT) materials combined with DYNEEMA HB212 material would perform against the 7.62x51 M80 threat.
