Dyneema® in Vehicle Armor
Dyneema®. Next generation armor technology
Armor made with Dyneema® technology is the best choice for protecting vehicles. Dyneema® Force Multiplier Technology, for example, can reduce armor weight by up to 20%, yet sacrifices nothing in ballistic performance. The result is a radical improvement in protection, weight, space, flexibility, and economics compared with traditional materials like HMPE, ceramics, fiberglass, aramid, and titanium.
