FAQ
- Does body armour really work?
- Can you insert a ceramic plate in a vest?
- What is armour for vehicles?
Our body armour and vehicle armour stop and destroy bullets.
When a bullet strikes the ceramic surface, a deformation of the bullet tip takes place and thus an enlargement of the cross section. Impact, friction processes and reciprocal effects between the longitudinal shockwave and the reflected wave destroy the bullet and pulverize the ceramic during penetration.

You can easily insert our plates in a vest or a plate carrier to create a protective vest. Click here to view our featured products that are made of the highest quality.
Our armour plates for vehicles have the purpose to protect vehicles from heavy-duty actions such as abrasions or shootings. These plates can be used for internal use and exterior use. These armour plates were first developed mid 70’s to serve as protection for helicopter seats. Click here to view our products for your vehicles.
