It meets NIJ 0101.06 Level III standards on its own—no Level IIIA soft vest required. At 15 meters, it consistently blocks 7.62×51mm M80 NATO (full-power NATO rounds), 7.62×39mm AK47 MSC (standard AK ammo), and 5.56×45mm M193 (M16/AR-15’s go-to round). The “Alumina Ceramic + UHMWPE” dual layer stops penetration reliably while keeping costs in check—perfect for agencies or security firms needing to equip large teams without sacrificing performance.
Its front-line barrier is high-density alumina ceramic (hardness HV0.5 ≥ 1800)—a smarter pick than pricey silicon carbide (SiC). It delivers the rifle-stopping power you need at a fraction of the cost, and its stable crystalline structure resists chipping from minor bumps (like gear knocks) better than brittle SiC. That means longer service life for frequent use, from daily patrols to training drills.
It has a double curve contour (chest arc + rib arc) that hugs diverse body types—slim, muscular, and everything in between. Unlike single-curve plates, it eliminates “gap pressure” (underarms, sternum) and cuts pressure points by 50%. You can wear it for 8+ hours straight—great for urban policing, event security, or any all-day mission—without discomfort.
At 2.65±0.05kg per plate, it’s practical for alumina-based designs: 25% lighter than steel Level III plates (around 3.5kg) and way more affordable than SiC alternatives. It won’t weigh you down during long shifts. The outer 600D black Oxford fabric repels heavy rain (no seepage) and resists flames, plus a 5-year warranty ensures it holds up to tactical use.
The high-density alumina layer hits first: when a rifle round (like 7.62×51mm M80 NATO) strikes, its hardness shatters the bullet’s core and jacket—turning high-velocity projectiles into harmless debris. Unlike softer materials, alumina stays structurally sound after impact, so it can handle multiple hits (per NIJ Level III standards).
Behind the ceramic, gel-spun UHMWPE fibers (15x stronger than steel by weight) catch bullet fragments and soak up leftover kinetic energy. It stops “backspall” (debris bouncing back) and keeps backface deformation under 44mm (NIJ’s safe limit)—so you avoid blunt trauma, even after stopping a powerful round.
Alumina gives you 90% of silicon carbide’s (SiC) rifle-stopping power at just 60% of the cost. For teams that need to equip 10, 50, or 100+ members, this adds up to big savings—without skimping on protection. Its durability also means fewer replacements, lowering long-term costs.
Alumina Care: Don’t drop it from over 1.5m—alumina can get hidden cracks. If you do drop it, tap it gently: a dull thud (not a clear ring) means internal damage—stop using it.
Double Curve Storage: Don’t stack heavy gear (like bags or other plates) on it—this warps the curve, ruining the fit. Store flat in a dry, cool spot (relative humidity ≤ 75%).
Fabric Care: Clean the outer Oxford fabric with mild soap and water only—harsh detergents or bleach break down the waterproof/flame-retardant coating.
Warranty Rules: Never cut, drill, or modify the plate—it breaks the alumina’s integrity and voids the warranty. Keep it away from acids/solvents (they damage UHMWPE and fabric).
