Ditch the fragility of ceramic—this stand-alone ballistic plate uses UHMWPE to deliver rifle-grade protection, ultra-lightweight agility, and a universal fit, perfect for long missions where every gram and minute of comfort counts.
Forget the myth that “rifle defense requires ceramic.” This plate uses high-performance UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) + Anti-BFS material to independently meet NIJ 0101.06 Level III standards. At 15 meters, it reliably stops 7.62×51mm M80 NATO (full-power NATO ammo) and 7.62×39mm AK47 MSC (standard AK47 rounds)—no Level IIIA vest or ceramic layer required. It’s ideal for scenarios where ceramic’s fragility is a hassle, like frequent gear handling or daily training.
Weighing just 1.35±0.05kg per plate, it’s 40% lighter than ceramic-based stand-alone plates (e.g., 2.35kg SiC models) and 25% lighter than hybrid alternatives. Every gram saved adds up: it keeps you agile during 8+ hour patrols, multi-site security runs, or urban policing—missions where excess weight slows your moves and drains energy.
Its standard 250×300mm±2mm rectangular design works with 95% of tactical plate carriers (MOLLE, slick carriers, low-profile styles)—no custom trimming needed. The double-curve contour hugs your upper torso’s natural shape, cutting pressure on your chest and ribs by 35% compared to flat plates. It stays comfortable even when kneeling, leaning, or sitting in tight vehicle seats.
The outer black Oxford fabric is treated to repel water (no seepage in heavy rain) and resist flames (safe around open fire or hot debris). Backed by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty (valid for normal tactical use), it skips the ceramic-related maintenance headaches—no constant crack checks or fragility worries.
The gel-spun UHMWPE fibers (15x stronger than steel by weight) weave into a dense, flexible shield. When a 7.62mm rifle round hits, the fibers stretch and lock together, spreading the bullet’s kinetic energy across a wide area. Unlike ceramic (which shatters), UHMWPE uses controlled deformation to stop the bullet within its 24±2mm thickness—no fragmentation, no gaps.
Standard ceramic-free plates often cause painful backface indentations. This plate’s integrated Anti-BFS (Backface Signature) tech reduces deformation by 40% compared to basic UHMWPE designs. Even after stopping high-powered M80 NATO rounds, the back stays under NIJ’s <44mm limit—preventing bruising, rib injuries, or internal damage.
Without ceramic, the plate avoids common failure points: no hidden cracks from drops, no weight gain from broken ceramic fragments, and no need to replace it after minor impacts. It’s more durable for daily use (like patrols) and slashes long-term maintenance costs.
UHMWPE Care: Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight (UV rays break down UHMWPE over time)—store in a dark bag when not in use. Avoid temps above 50℃ (like vehicle dashboards in summer) as they can soften the fibers.
Avoid Heavy Impacts: While tough, dropping the plate from >2m can damage the UHMWPE’s fiber structure. If dropped, check for visible dents or soft spots—stop using it if you find any.
Warranty Compliance: Don’t cut, drill, or wash the plate (the waterproof coating is external; internal UHMWPE absorbs moisture). Keep it away from strong acids or solvents—they ruin the fabric and fibers.
Service Life: After 5 years, replace the plate if: (1) backface deformation exceeds 44mm post-impact; (2) UHMWPE feels soft or loses rigidity; (3) outer fabric is severely torn (exposes internal layers).
