Technical Specs
Exceeding specifications
Since our armour can be tailored to your requirements it has to meet and exceed the accepted international standards for body armour. Our range of Fortis armour, armoured jackets and vests, meet and exceed the specifications of National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and Home Office Scientific Development Branch - (HOSDB).
They have been tested for perforation resistance to bullets fired from hand guns, carbines, shotguns, rifles, 9mm sub-machine guns, knives, spikes, needles, shrapnel and glass fragments. The armour can minimise blunt trauma c15mm behind the body armour and has a high attenuation to blunt impact energy such as punches, kicks, bricks and projectiles.
We can also provide certain armour constructions that are immune to effects of freshwater, sea water, precipitation and humidity and have resistance to chemical and biological attack and have opacity to radar and microwave energy. We can even provide flame resistance cover materials that can withstand temperatures up to 800 centigrade.
