Products

Lightweight, cost competitive and ballistically superior, Barrday’s thermoplastic resin based products can be molded into complex 3D shapes and reshaped using high temperatures. Their excellent ballistics properties make thermoplastics ideal for a wide range of applications including stab resistant materials and composite armors. Ballistic panels made using these resins can be used as either as stand-alone structures or in combination with steel or ceramic in personal or vehicle armor.

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.

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.

U681 is an advanced para-aramid unidirectional material for hard armor ballistic applications. U681 consists of two plies of unidirectional product, cross-plied in 0°/90° configuration. Our proprietary UD technology aligns the fibers in each layer in a parallel direction.

BarrFlexTM U471 is an advanced para-aramid unidirectional material for hard armor ballistic applications. Barrday BarrFlexTM U471 consists of two plies of unidirectional product, cross-plied in 0°/90° configuration. Each layer is individually constructed within a resin matrix. The resin matrix retains stability at elevated temperatures while the product maintains structural integrity after ballistic event. Material performance is dependent on product orientation. Always ensure the fiber orientation is correct.

U561 is an advanced para-aramid unidirectional material for hard armorballistic applications. U561 consists of two plies of unidirectionalproduct, cross-plied in 0°/90° confguration. Each layer is individually con-structed within a resin matrix using Barrday's proprietary UD technologyto align the fibers in a parallel direction. Material performance is dependent on product orientation. Always ensure the fiber orientation is correct.

BarrFlexTM U531 is an advanced para-aramid unidirectional material for hard armor ballistic applications. Barrday BarrFlexTM U531 consists of four plies of unidirectional product, cross-plied in 0°/90°/0°/90° configuration. Our proprietary UD technology aligns the fibers in each layer in a parallel direction. Each layer is individually constructed within a resin matrix. Material performance is dependent on product orientation. Always ensure the fiber orientation is correct.

PVB Phenolic resins are a family of thermoset resins that display outstanding structural rigidity, toughness, and adhesive strength. They are used primarily in ballistic helmet and vehicle applications once impregnated into high performance aramid fabrics. These fabrics offer exceptional ballistic performance in vehicle spall liner applications and versus fragmentation threats, as well as excellent structural and thermal properties. Standard configurations conform to MIL-DTL-62474 aramid fabric reinforced laminates for composite armor.
