Avient Corporation company Dyneema unveils new ballistic materials, Dyneema HB330 and Dyneema HB332, which are 45 per cent lighter than the first generation.
Engineered with third-generation fibre technology, the unidirectional (UD) materials set a new ballistic performance and weight reduction standard. They enhance protection in hard armour applications such as inserts, helmets, and vehicle armour.
When combined into a complete body armour system, which typically pairs a soft armour vest with hard inserts for protection against handgun and rifle threats, third-generation Dyneema materials enable a high-performance system 45 per cent lighter than a system made from first-generation Dyneema solutions.
