Advanced fibers are integral to modern defense, acting as strategic materials essential for national power and military strength. Their composite products are used to manufacture a number of products ranging from bulletproof vests and helmets to missile solid rocket motor casings.
Its key applications are as follows :
- Bulletproof Vests & Helmets : Technical fibers firm the core material in bulletproof vests and helmets, offering high tensile strength and impact resistance to stop bullets and other attacks. These fibers improve their bulletproof performance by 40%.
- Vehicle & Aircraft Armor : Advanced composites are used in lightweight armor plating for military vehicles, helicopters, and aircrafts, maintaining strong ballistic protection.
- Protective Clothing : Soldiers wear flame resistant uniforms made with aramid fabrics. These uniforms can withstand high temperatures and are abrasion resistant, protecting them against fire hazards and explosions.
- Parachutes & Ropes : Technical threads are used in parachute cords, ropes, and harnesses due to their high tensile strength and cut resistant properties.
- Military Electronics & Drones : Technical composites reinforce drone structures and electronic housings, providing durability without adding excessive weight.
