IRIDIUM® - HP.3.1001 - CORDURA®

Polyethylene

Polyethylene fibers have replaced Kevlar in many modern hard armor applications, due to greatly improved ballistic resistance and a significant reduction in weight. This is a result of the dense molecular chains formed when processing UHMWPE fibers, and the fact that dense impregnated resins are no longer required.  Polyethylene armor systems are manufactured by bonding unidirectional UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) fibers over an HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) sheet. The sheets are then cut to a shape and placed in a mold where it is then compressed under high heat and pressure resulting in a cohesive, lightweight hard armor plate. When struck by a projectile the plate delaminates at the point of impact, distributing the force over a wide area while trapping the round within the plate itself, thereby eliminating spall entirely.

Polyethylene can be used independent of other materials to form Level III plates capable of defeating .223/7.62 rounds, however it cannot stop armor piercing ammunition without the addition of ceramic breaker plates.

The bulletproof plate IRIDIUM® - HP.3.1001 is made of UHMWPE, the strongest material for protection against non-penetrating bores (non armour piercing) to provide maximum protection to level III ++ template NIJ 0101.04, making them the ideal choice for staff of the Police Coast Guard and the Armed Forces.

Provides certified by an authorized laboratory, protection of multiple shots (at least 6 shots) calibres 7,62ch51mm M80 NATO BALL, 7,62x39mm Mild Steel Core AK47 KALASHNIKOV 5,56x45mm and M193, in conjunction with IIIA SP.3A.301 panel , by the minimum weight of 1.350gr.

The endurance limit V50 of IRIDIUM® HP.3.1001 accordance with certification, bore 7,62ch51mm NATO M80 BALL, is at least 1.036 m / s constituting safer choice of category (III level ++).

It coating POLYUREA to ensure that it will leave the plate any probe fragment and provided with truncated upper corners so as not to obstruct the user in the firing position.
