Manufacturing
For high end of threat levels,
we utilize the only certified armor plate manufacturer in the market
today, Clifton's High Hard Ballistic Steel. Clifton's is the only
actual armor plate on the market today. Competitors of this manufacturer
use steel renamed as "wear plate" as their version of
armor plate. Wear plate is used to protect dump truck beds and bucket
liners in the mining industry. This material is manufactured from
start to finish to meet MIL-A-46100D and MIL-A-46177B Armor Plate
as per the rigorous U.S. Military's Armor Specifications. It is
tested at Aberdeen Proving Grounds to meet the military standards.
Once the product conforms to the MIL standards, it must pass additional
ballistic testing to meet the Underwriters Laboratory and National
Institute of Justice standards. These standards are met through
independent tests at certified laboratories.
Kevlar and / or Spectra are utilized
when total overall weight is a manufacturing concern or requirement.
These lightweight armor materials deflect the high end of threat
levels and can be laminated to varying thicknesses.
The specific threat level of protection you seek can be determined
from the various domestic and international standards, or bulletproof
protection can be custom crafted to defeat a specific identified
threat.
