The rising threat of violence has led to an increased demand for ballistic protection. Teijin Aramid is dedicated to give this protection with its high-performance Twaron® aramid fiber. Applications for Twaron® are diverse, ranging from bullet resistant vests, to helmets and protection of vehicles.
Users of Twaron-based ballistic vests benefit from a lower weight, greater comfort and longer lifetimes of these vests. And, at the same time, protecting them against the penetration of bullets and fragments but also against stabbing.
Key applications for Twaron are ranging from ballistic protection of vehicles, to bullet resistant helmets and vests. Armored vehicles based on Twaron protect against projectiles and fragments and still remain light and maneuverable: compared to steel the weight will be reduced between 30-60%.
