Products in Polymers & Resins: Helmets

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.

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.

SWANCOR 2552 is a solvent-based epoxy resin with low viscosity, and the formula does not contain Diuron and volatile components. With good impregnation with fibers Suitable for drum and continuous drying machine operation

SWANCOR 2594 is a hot-melt epoxy resin and does not contain Diuron and volatile ingredients in the formula. Suitable for the rolling process, has good surface adhesion and spreadability, and is suitable for prepregs with low weight and low resin content.

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.

Enchuan 6120TA is a non-wax type resin. It is similar to 6120TWA, 6120TA also designed for hand lay-up operations to make general FRP products.

SWANCOR 2554 is a hot-melt epoxy resin and does not contain Diuron and volatile ingredients in the formula. Suitable for the rolling process, with good surface adhesion and covering properties.

SWANCOR 2564 is a hot-melt epoxy resin and does not contain Diuron and volatile ingredients. Suitable for molding process, with good surface adhesion and spreadability.
