Armour Plates
Armour plates from Multotec, also known as ballistic plates are tailored to provide protection for several applications. The robust and lightweight ceramic armour plates can be used by security services, the police & military forces for body, vehicle, aircraft, ship and other types of industrial protection.
Designed in response to modern ballistic requirements, our armour plates provide effective protection against all modern ammunition from handguns and rifles, including high-velocity armour-piercing bullets.
Moh-9 ArmohTec ceramic armour plates are exclusively manufactured by Moh-9, a division of Multotec Wear Linings (Pty) Ltd. The ISO 9000:2000 accredited armour plates are manufactured with 98% and 99% alumina oxide ceramic (Al2O3). Our ballistic plates are available as monolithic body and vehicle armour.

Our Moh-9 ArmohTec and TMRP-6 technology
Our ballistic plates (armour plates) are manufactured in our Pretoria-based factory. Extensive research is conducted in collaboration with internationally recognised institutes to continuously develop and upgrade our materials and manufacturing processes. This is done to meet the requirements of emerging ballistic challenges.
Moh-9’s 99% alumina oxide ceramic (Al2O3) armour plates micronise fracture cones of impacting projectiles to dissipate the force, protecting a variety of assets across a range of applications. Our ceramic plates are harder and lighter than steel of the same thickness. When the ballistic plates are used in conjunction with complementary composite materials, the plates offer superior protection in comparison to traditional steel plates alone.
Our high-quality armour plates offer:
- High resilience & fracture durability
- High Young’s modulus compression levels
- High sonic velocity capacities
- Low weight per area
Customisation and expertise
We’ve developed armour protection products for over 35 years! Our experts can customise armour plates to suit your application, so you can ensure optimum ballistic protection for your personnel and vehicles. Our ceramic body armour range also includes anatomically correct designs for males and females.
