BALLISTIC VESTS AND EQUIPMENT

Vests used by the military, policemen and professionals of private security. The most efficient item of security for people that need constant protection.

Aramida 
The synthetic staple fibres of aramida had been developed in the end of the 60s and launched, years later, for the DuPont under the mark KEVLAR®. NFT - New Fibers Technology The ballistic vest of NFT (New Fibers Technology) is the result of constant search for the technological perfection of the products offered to the Brazilian market.

Gold Flex 
The vests "Gold Flex®" are manufactured and developed for the North American company Honeywell. This product has 4 fabric blades of aramida unidirectional, which are in position 0°/90° and 0°/90° and joined through the process of "calandragem"de by a film of plastic term in each face. The product allows the confection of ballistic vests that present excellent resistance to the penetration of projectiles, inclined impacts and reduction of traumas.

Polyethylene 
The use of polyethylene in the confection of ballistic vests was a technological revolution. The polyethylene staple fibres have highest molecular weight and are 10 times more resistant than steel.

Spectra Shield® 
The vests of Spectra Shield® Plus contain, in all the surface of the ballistic panels, two blades of anti trauma, constituted of polyethylene staple fibre fabric.

Dyneema 
The Dyneema vests® possess similar characteristics of ballistic resistance to "spectra flex" and the raw material is produced by the DSM of Holland. The technology developed for the DSM allowed the reduction of the weight of the blades from 150g/m2 to 145g/m2, demonstrating superior ballistic resistance. In face of this improvement, the vests manufactured with Dyneema® possess 1 blade less than the ones that the Spectra Flex has, so they are lighter.

Spectra Flex® 
The combination of the properties of the Spectra Flex® with the ballistic technology of the CBC allowed the development of a light, flexible product having high performance. Multi Vest Threat CBC Always following the clients’ needs and the global technological development, CBC developed a new vest, the Multi Vest Threat CBC that offers, besides the conventional ballistic protection, additional protection against weapons’ attacks.
