Dyneema / Spectra Shield© is the strongest, lightest, composite ballistic material made today! Spectra Shield isn't a woven fabric like most ballistic materials i.e. [ Kevlar] used today! But instead, a thin,flexible ballistic composite made from two layers of unidirectional fibers held in place by flexible resins. These fibers are arranged so they cross each other at 0 and 90 degree angles, then, both fiber and resin layers are sealed between two thin sheets of polyethylene film similar to sarran wrap. Spectra Shield is ten times stronger than steel.

Dyneema / Spectra Shield composite armor panels are readily cut and fabricated using commonly available tools [saber saw with a knife blade will easily cut the panels.] The panels can then be glued in place, or installed with screws, nuts and bolts, etc. Butt joints are ballistically weak, reinforce them with a min. 4" wide strip of same level of material to cover any gaps in the panels.

Our Dyneema / Spectra Shield panels panels were tested behind .040 aluminum panels, go to next higher level of protection for stand alone applications.
