The ballistic panels employed in bulletproof vests may be made of different types of material. Body armours are required to undergo particular tests before they may be sold; some types of body armour, like Zylon, had to be recalled as the body armour showed rapid degradation after a short duration. This underlines the importance of high-quality material in the production of body armour. In modern times, several types of high-quality materials are used to manufacture body armour. These materials have significantly contributed to the growth of the global armour materials market. Some such materials are explained below.

Aramids: Aramids are synthetic fibers that exhibit outstanding heat-resistant properties and strength. Aramids were developed in the early 1960s and primarily commercialized by DuPont™ who created a meta-aramid named Nomax®. DuPont™ made further developments and introduced the first para-aramid Kevlar®® in 1973. These developments led to significant changes in the bulletproof vest industry; para-aramid materials allowed manufacturers to create lightweight and flexible bulletproof vests that offered high levels of protection.

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE): This is another popular material for ballistic panels and employed in several modern types of body armour. While it is a kind of polyolefin (made up of very long chains of polyethylene), its characteristics are similar to para-aramids. The strength-to-weight ratio for UHMWPE have been shown to be up to 40% more than that of conventional para-aramid fibers. Thus, it is gaining significant popularity in the body armour market, with several companies introducing UHMWPE based body armour, like Dyneema® and Spectra®.

Hard armour materials: Earlier, hard armours were manufactured from metals such as steel, but these were weighty and often ineffectual. Like soft body armour panes, modern hard armour may be manufactured from a variety of materials. Popular hard armour panes are made of ceramics or ceramic composites, generally with para-aramid backing, like Kevlar®®.

Polyethylene and Monolithic based hard armour plates have also been developed, which while lighter than ceramic based hard armour, are costlier. Ballistic helmets and other kinds of hard armour are generally made of a para-aramid base encased in strong thermoplastic resin. The resultant material is lightweight and thin, which may be worn comfortably for longer durations.

 

Technologies Used in Body Armour and Military Vehicles and Aircraft Likely to Boost the Global Armour Materials Market

The technologies used in body armour may also be found in the insides of military ground vehicles and helicopters. For example, DuPont™ Kevlar® technology is enabling the development of strong, lightweight, and flame and heat resistant armour systems and spall protection for a variety of ships, vehicles, airplanes and helicopters.

Companies like Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories offer outstanding design flexibility with innovative and consistent ceramics. The company employs high-performance, lightweight ceramic protection materials to offer protection solution for vehicles and aircraft.  The panels are drawn from several shapes, such as hexagons, squares and rectangles. Silicon carbide and boron carbide ceramic tile armour assemblies by the company are employed to safeguard land vehicles, fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.

 

Modern Protective Equipment Offering Effective Protection in a Range of Scenarios Expected to Stimulate the Global Armour Materials Market

Constantly evolving threat scenarios require continual development in protective equipment for personnel as well as non-human assets. Military and law enforcement personnel need lightweight, high performance, and affordable body armours that may ensure high levels of protection in a variety of circumstances, including extreme scenarios. At the same time, assets such as vehicles and aircraft also need to be safeguarded from attacks. This need for continual development and modernization of protective equipment is expected to drive the market.
