Armored-Boss: Superior Ballistic Protection
Key Advantages
- Much Lighter – Easier to integrate into vehicles, boats, wearable protection, furniture, and buildings.
- Higher Energy Absorption – Fibrous structure spreads impact force more efficiently.
- Superior Multi-Hit Capability – Maintains integrity after repeated strikes. Tests show a 2.6 sqft panel stopping over 40 rounds.
- Corrosion- and Moisture-Proof – No degradation from water or humidity.
Delamination in Pressed Fiberglass Panels
Pressed fiberglass panels rely on resin-bonded layers of fiberglass. Upon impact, the resin matrix cracks and delaminates, separating the layers. After just 1–5 hits, structural integrity fails:
- The panel can no longer absorb or spread energy.
- Penetration resistance drops significantly.
- Subsequent projectiles may pass through.
Armored-Boss Panel Advantage
Our panels use entangled high-strength fibers in non-resin, thermally bonded layers:
- Energy is distributed across fibers — no brittle resin means no traditional delamination.
- Maintains strength even after closely spaced hits.
- Rated for NIJ Level IIIA and III multi-hit protection — trusted by military and law enforcement.
Summary Comparison
| Feature | Armored-Boss | Pressed Fiberglass |
|---|---|---|
| Delamination After Impact | No significant delamination – fibers remain bound | Yes – resin layers crack and separate |
| Multi-Hit Durability | High – maintains integrity | Low – prone to failure after few strikes |
| Ballistic Integrity Post-Hit | Consistent over multiple hits | Degrades rapidly in impacted zones |
| Moisture Resistance | Completely waterproof | Absorbs moisture — leads to degradation |
| Weight-to-Protection Ratio | Excellent — lighter for same protection | Heavy — increased weight for same rating |
| Impact Energy Dispersion | Efficient — spreads force through fiber web | Localized — brittle cracking at point of impact |
Real-World Implications
If you're designing for real-world threat scenarios — active shooters, repeated fire, or home invasions — Armored-Boss delivers a far more reliable and durable ballistic protection solution, all at a cost comparable to traditional options.
