FLEX ARMOR

FLEX ARMOR is a light weight vehicle armoring system that is designed to be applied to the inside or outside of the panels of any vehicle. Being personal, commercial, government, or military. That can provide protection up to N.I.J III and IIIA STANDARDS.

Vehicle armor panels

Flex Armor is used to create vehicle armor panels with exceptional properties. Successful applications include spall liners and armor panels for military vehicles, police vehicles, VIP vehicles, transporters, aircraft, ships, and helicopters.

Broad anti-ballistic protection

Depending on the application and threat, Flex Armor panels can be used for protection against the following:

The full range of ammunition defined in European Standard EN1522-1, from commonly used handgun ammunition (e.g. Magnum bullets) to 9 mm Full Metal Jacket bullets, Military ball ammunition, including AK47 mild steel core bullets, Antitank projectiles of up to 14.5 mm (in combination with a ceramic or steel strike face), Heavier, tank-penetrating projectiles (e.g. APDS kinetic energy projectiles and shaped charge high-energy ammunition) Mines.

Flex Armor panels offer excellent protection from multiple hits, angle shots, and spall. Dyneema spall liners catch the generated spall fragments, and the angle of the spall cone is significantly reduced, decreasing damage considerably. Flex Armor panels also have good acoustic absorption properties.

Light weight Flex Armor panels are significantly lighter than conventional armor. The panels used in police vehicles, for instance, weigh less than 5 kg/m2. For higher-level threats than rifle ball ammunition, Flex Armor panels with steel or ceramic strike faces can reduce areal density by 50-75% compared to steel armor. Flex Armor therefore minimizes the negative effect armor can have on a vehicle's center of gravity, speed and maneuverability.

Reliable performance, Flex Armor panels are not negatively affected by moisture or water, and are highly resistant to chemicals and UV light, as well as meeting the most commonly used standards of flame retardant (e.g. FAR 25.853, DIN 4102 class B2, FMVSS 302), Flex Armor offers superior secondary properties, including high and low temperature resistance and excellent ageing resistance.

Easy to install, The slim, light and discreet Flex Armor panels require only minimal adjustments to civil and police vehicles.

Processing requirements
Flex Armor panels can be cut using standard equipment, and can be given any shape, conforming to the irregular contours of both large and small vehicles. Flex Armor (FA1) offers some processing advantages over Flex Armor (FA2), including (in some cases) compression molding without cooling before mold release, and easier production of items with very complex shapes.
