Plates for ballistic protection.

Plates for ballistic protection are up to 50% lighter compared to steel.

Alumina, as an armor, offers high protection with low weight. The advantage of this material is its very high hardness at lower density compared to steel. Thus, the use of ceramics allows a significant saving in the weight per unit area of the protective module. Such a module is implemented as an “add-on” or integrated protection.

QSIL Ceramics has developed special materials for this application. The properties of the materials are continuously optimized through ongoing development. This allows our customers, the manufacturers of composite modules, to counter potential threats.

Up to 50% lighter than steel, the ceramic composite armor meets the stringent requirements of international standards for ballistic protection plates.

Application examples of protection systems:

• Wheeled and tracked vehicles
• Rescue and recovery technology
• Civil automobile
• Cash and valuables transport vehicles, ATMs, banks
• Aeronautical Engineering
• Ships
• Mobile container
• Sensitive equipment
