Ceramic body armor plates are an advanced form of protection, offering maximum ballistic protection. NIJ level IV (RF3) protection levels are the highest available; however, they can also meet industry threat rating level III+ protection levels. At Xinxing we specialize in producing top quality ceramic body armor at competitive prices.
The Materials Behind the Protection
Ceramic body armor plates are composed of advanced ceramics such as aluminum oxide, boron carbide and silicon carbide that have high strength and hardness properties which make them suitable for armor applications.In addition to these advanced ceramics, ceramic body armor plates may also contain other materials such as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) or steel. These materials can help to improve the overall level of protection provided by the plates, as well as their durability and resistance to wear and tear.
Ceramic and UHMWPE: Their Love Story as Told by an Autoclave
Preparing ceramic and UHMWPE for bonding is a critical part of creating ceramic body armor. UHMWPE must be measured and cut to match up perfectly with ceramic plates; both materials should then be thoroughly cleaned and inspected to ensure there are no defects or impurities before finally being placed together in their correct alignment.
Once ceramic plates have been prepared, they'll be attached to layers of UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) to increase strength and durability. This bonding process uses an autoclave as a giant pressure cooker - using heat and pressure to fuse ceramic and UHMWPE together and form an ultra strong bond that will protect you against even the toughest threats.
Final Step: Quality Seal
After ceramic plates are adhered to UHMWPE via autoclave process, our armor system takes one final step: sealing them in an embroidered casing designed specifically to protect them and provide additional durability. Made of robust and long-wearing 1000D Cordura material that can withstand wear and tear, this housing features the Spartan Armor Systems logo for style while serving as an indicator of its authenticity; then fully inspected to meet our high-quality standards before packaging and shipping to customers.
At our factories, we take great care to ensure the quality of our products through stringent quality control measures. These include testing plates for strength and durability in accordance with NIJ Standards (including the new Standards NIJ 0101.07) as well as using advanced testing equipment and techniques. These measurements include testing to see whether our ceramic body armor plates meet customer expectations regarding protection; testing their ability to resist multiple hits as well as resistance against armor-piercing threats are all key aspects.
Not only do we employ rigorous internal quality controls, but we also send our ceramic body armor plates for independent testing by third-party laboratories to ensure they meet the highest standards for both quality and performance.
