Ballistic protection has evolved significantly with advances in textile engineering. Modern armies rely on high-tenacity fabrics, aramid fibers, reinforced carriers and fragmentation-resistant materials to protect soldiers in the field.
UNDERSTANDING BALLISTIC & FRAGMENTATION PROTECTION
Ballistic protection stops:
• Bullets
• Shrapnel
• High-speed metal fragments
Fragmentation protection minimizes damage from:
• Explosions
• Grenades
• IEDs
• Stone or metal debris
KEY TEXTILE MATERIALS
1. Aramid Fibers (Kevlar®, Twaron®-Type Fabrics)
• High tensile strength
• Heat resistance
• Cut protection
Used in soft armor and fragmentation vests.
2. UHMWPE Fibers
• Extremely high strength
• Lightweight ballistic capability
• Low moisture absorption
3. Ballistic Nylon (Cordura® 1000D–1680D)
• Ideal for tactical vest shells
• Used in MOLLE systems and pouches
4. Fragmentation-Resistant Woven Fabrics
• High-density weaves
• Multi-layer reinforcement
• Tear resistance
