Using a carbon fiber reinforced composite material called Auxilam, the British PPSS Group has developed a new protective breastplate product that can help the wearer dodge the most violent and ferocious weapons imaginable
.
Combining the high strength of carbon fiber, the auxetic properties of Auxilam composites (referring to the vertical expansion when stretched and/or the vertical contraction when squeezed) and special structural properties, the new generation of protective breastplate , protection, defense and durability found the perfect balance
.
Compared to its acclaimed polycarbonate-based stab-resistant vest, the new product is 19% thinner (using a 3.
9mm-thick carbon fiber composite material), with a 6.
6% reduction in areal density and weight, according to PPSS Group
.
Of course, the product still needs to be certified to the KR2/SP2 standard, NIJ level 2 and VPAM K2/D2 standard, according to the UK Home Office's body armor standard, which means it will be able to provide a higher level of knife and stab protection
.
Government departments and security companies will be able to choose from concealed, exposed, fully exposed and other >
.
Robert Kaiser, CEO of PPSS Group, said: "The officers of law enforcement, border control, customs and immigration can be injured every day by a variety of knives and hypodermic syringes, and this product was developed to protect them more effectively
.
The British company has delivered its acclaimed polycarbonate stab vests to security agencies around the world for the past decade
