STAB PROTECTION PRODUCTS

Our stab protection vest utilise a patent pending manufacturing technology
which makes our stab-protection garments innovative and unique throughout the world providing stab and slash protection in one product. After many years of intensive research & development undertaken in Germany, we have succeeded in manufacturing a textile composite that is safe, light and flexible at the same time.

For example our under vest weighs approx. 1.5 kg The protective layer is
made of a high-strength aramid fabric to which a special plastic is inseparably applied. The high strength fibres and the energy absorbing plastic mean that the specific properties of this composite exceeds those of stainless steel plates.

The weight is approx. 4.5 times lower than for a comparably thick stainless steel plate. We have taken the armadillo as a model to ensure flexibility and breathability.

Just like this armoured mammal, we make use of an overlapping scaly structure. However, our scaly structure differs from that of other suppliers in that it is not possible to push it apart.

This allows us to achieve a high degree of safety in combination with maximum
flexibility making it the most flexible stab protection material in the world, tested under the international NIJ and VPAM stab testing
standards.
