- Reinforced with Ballistic Grade Aramid Fiber
After 12 years of unequaled performance, HUDCO in 1994 reformulated Formula 4000 to include ballistic grade aramid fiber reinforcement in the polymer matrix. The addition of ballistic grade aramid fiber, one of the toughest materials in existence, has significantly improved the phenomenal properties of HUDCO Formula 4000. The unique concept of using ballistic grade aramid fiber to reinforce the matrix of HUDCO Formula 4000 demonstrates HUDCO's commitment to world class technology.
