High-performance ceramics for personnel protection
As a manufacturer of high-performance ceramics, CeramTec-ETEC has an intense cooperation with a large number of system suppliers in order to increase ballistic efficiency for personnel protection, to save weight and to improve the user’s wearing comfort. Conventional protection vests do not provide complete protection. Only ceramic-based inserts are able to comply reliably with the requirements of superior protection levels.
Nowadays bullet-proof vests are mostly equipped with monolithic ceramic plates. Due to their double or multiple curvature, they adapt themselves to a large extent to the body shape, and in this way, they increase the wearer’s comfort. Owing to the advanced and variable manufacturing technology, it is possible to produce a broad range of plates according to customer specifications.
In addition to monolithic inserts, CeramTec-ETEC can also provide multi-tile versions based on small single ceramic tiles (e.g. 50x50 mm). In cases of impact, these inserts have proven to have an increased multi-hit capability because the size of the damaged area produced in the armor system is controlled and minimized.
