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, with 2 purpose built facilities in China manufacturing the stab panels to the high standards and specifications required to pass VPAM, NIJ0115.00, UK HOSDB, CHINA GA68-2019, ISO 13998
For example our under vest weighs approx. 1.4 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.
