FLEX-PRO 50″x41″ to 50″X96″ Thermoformable Vehicle Armor Panels are a laminated composite armor fabricated from a vulcanized urethane 3000 denier aramid composite. FLEX-PRO armor panels are semi-rigid, and have excellent multi-hit capabilities and will not bunch up or fall down during ballistic incidents or severe vehicle use. Flex-Pro Ballistic Panels are thermoformable, with the use of a heat gun these panels can be formed and bent into complex shapes and will retain these shapes.
Dyneema 50″x63″ Armor Panels are the strongest, lightest, composite ballistic material made today! Dyneema isn’t a woven fabric like most ballistic materials but is 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. Ballistic Protection up to NIJ Level III+.
Our Fiberglass Ballistic Armor panels are manufactured using multiple layers of fiberglass cloth or woven roving that are bonded together with a preimpregnated resin under heat and pressure to form a ridged bullet resistant/bulletproof Panel. This is the same fiberglass that boats are made from, only with many more layers of the fiberglass cloth used in the process.
Our composite armor panels find extensive use in the automotive armor industry. Kevlar Armor Panels, Flex-Pro Thermoformable Armor Panels, Dyneema, and Spectra Shield Ballistic Panels are well suited for this type of application where lightweight ballistic protection is needed. These bulletproof panels are durable, very lightweight and simple to install. In vehicle armoring you add additional weight to the vehicle, so when using these composite ballistic panels added weight is kept to the absolute minimum. Not only will they extend the life of your vehicle’s brakes and suspension, they also reduce maintenance costs and improve overall vehicle performance. No special tools are need for cutting or installation. A disadvantage is that they are not well suited for 
For the hardening of government buildings, court houses, schools, banks, military installations, nuclear power plants and residential safe room construction. Our Steel Armor Plate and Fiberglass Ballistic Armor Panels would be the most cost effective products for this application, due to their low cost and superior ballistic protection. These panels also add strength and stability, especially if your need is for the added protection from bomb blasts or heavy assault rifle attacks. Our Kevlar Armor Panels, Flex-Pro thermoformable Armor Panels, in a standalone lay up work well for curved applications, such as judge’s benches, speaker podiums, or desks. Dyneema and Spectra Shield Ballistic Panels are also well suited for when lightweight ballistic protection is needed for assault rifle protection. Typically, their use in such applications would be limited to special situations, due to the higher cost, limited sizes, and thickness.
