Phenolic resins are renowned for their excellent high temperature resistance, flame resistance, low smoke generation and low toxicity in fire situations. Phenolics are used in vehicle armor applications that utilize these properties in combination with E-glass and other high performance glass fibers. Phenolics are very rigid, although toughened versions are available with reduced temperature resistance.

Epoxy resins are a family of thermosets that offer a broad variety of performance characteristics. Epoxies are well known for their strength, toughness and their ability to be formulated to cure under a wide variety of time and temperature conditions. Epoxy prepregs are structural materials that are used in a wide variety of applications in the composites industry. In protective applications they can provide structural support to strengthen and stiffen soft armor structures as well as to reinforce ceramic plates to provide multi-hit resistance to armor piercing rounds.
