Efficient protection of equipment : Vehicles
Twaron is a high-performance manmade fiber with excellent bullet resistant properties. Twaron is being used more and more often in combination with steel to reduce weight and provide protection against secondary fragments. This means that police and civilian vehicles can be armored and yet be light and maneuverable. Depending on how extensively and in what proportion Twaron is used, the weight savings achieved by additional armoring amount to between 30% and 60% compared with the use of ballistic steel alone.

Lightweight body protection : Helmets
The requirements for combat helmets remained unchanged for thousands of years, as there was nothing better available than metallic materials. Thanks to modern chemistry, armies can now raise their ballistic requirements and ask for comfortable head protection against fragments and bullets, even those fired from submachine guns! Compared to ordinary steel combat helmets, ballistic protection of composite helmets has more than doubled. This is mainly attributable to the use of Twaron CT, which allows fast production of lightweight, durable, impact resistant, and thermo neutral shells.

Comportable body protection : Vests
The use of Twaron CT Microfilament in bullet resistant vests makes protective clothing lighter, more flexible, and easier to wear. In short, the most efficient protection system on the market today. The primary task of this protective material is to absorb ballistic energy in the shortest possible time. This is achieved by means of Twaron’s high energy absorption, high tenacity, and high modulus of elasticity, which permits rapid dispersion of the deformation waves. Synergistic effects also result from the huge number of individual filaments. Bullet resistant, lightweight, and comfortable body armor made from Twaron is used throughout the world today by police forces and by military personnel(mainly against fragments caused by explosives).
