Strongwell's armor panels are manufactured
utilizing a proprietary resin mix and specially
constructed glass reinforcements. The components
are combined in the pultrusion process with a
specific ratio of glass to resin. A controlled
curing sequence creates a panel that, when
struck by a bullet or other projectile, will
delaminate in a way that absorbs the energy and
stops the projectile.

Strongwell's fiberglass armor
panels can be cut and drilled using ordinary
carpenter's tools. A carbide "grit edge" blade
is recommended for cutting. It is recommended to
use high speed drill bits at slow speeds when
drilling. Installation of panels is easily
accomplished with bolts, screws or industrial
grade adhesive.
Strongwell's composite armor is
independently tested on a regular basis to
ensure conformance to certain specification
requirements. The panels to the left were tested
for UL 572 Level 3 with a .44 Magnum Pistol from
a distance of five meters.
The ply
delamination process of energy absorption is
illustrated in the photo above. Three .44 magnum
bullets are totally encapsulated by the
fiberglass panel to meet UL 572 Level 3. |
The 1/2" panels weigh approximately five pounds per
square foot. Panels are available in widths of up to 4
feet and in any shippable length.
The 1/2" panel meets the requirements of UL 752 Level
III Ballistic Specification. Strongwell will be
introducing armor panels for UL 752 Levels I & II soon.
