Silicon Carbide Ceramic Armor: Superior Ballistic Protection for Modern Threats
Our silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic armor represents the pinnacle of ballistic materials technology. By combining exceptional hardness (9.5 Mohs) with significantly reduced weight, it delivers unmatched protection for personnel and vehicles against high-velocity and armor-piercing threats.
Key Ballistic Advantages
-
Multi-Hit Capability: Maintains structural integrity under successive impacts, ensuring reliability in dynamic engagements.
-
Lightweight Defense: Up to 70% lighter than steel armor at equivalent protection levels, reducing wearer fatigue and increasing mobility.
-
Full NIJ Standard Compliance: Independently certified performance across protection levels I through IV.
-
Customizable Geometry: Available in square, hexagonal, cylindrical, and other configurations to fit any armor system design.
-
Advanced Manufacturing: Utilizing both Pressureless Sintering (SSiC) and Reaction-Bonding (RSiC) to optimize performance and cost-efficiency for different threat profiles.
