Ballistic Ceramic Composite
Ceragard ceramic composite armor is a laminated composite of Al2O3/B4C ballistic ceramics with high performance aramid polyethylene fiber. It combines high energy-absorption with lightweight. When attacked by projectile threat，the fracture of ultra-hard ceramics is capable of dissipating most of the projectile energy，while the residue energy is completely absorbed by thin layers of high strength and high modulus fabric backing. This type of composite system can be designed to be significantly lighter than ballistic steel and significantly thinner than ll-fabric systems of comparable stopping power. Comparing with ballistic steel, it can reduce the area density of an armor concept by 50-75%. Especially for wheeled military vehicles, this weight advantage can essentially improve the vehicles performance or increasing its payload, so more equipment or soldiers can be transported.
Depending on application requirements, Ceragard offers a wide range of materials: Al2O3 or B4C front, aramid or polyethylene backing. In many cases, a system using Ceragard is also more cost-effective than an all-metal or all-fabric system.
