What Material Is The Body Armor Made Of?

The bulletproof layer is made of metal (special steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy), ceramics (corundum, boron carbide, silicon carbide), glass fiber reinforced plastic, nylon, Kevlar, and other materials to form a single or composite protective structure.


Body armor can be divided into three types: soft, hard and soft-hard composite.


The materials of soft body armor are mainly high-performance textile fibers. These high-performance fibers are much higher than the energy absorption capacity of general materials, giving the body armor a bulletproof function. softness called soft body armor.


The hard body armor is mainly made of metal materials such as special steel plates, super-strong aluminum alloys, or hard non-metallic materials such as alumina and silicon carbide.


The softness of the soft-hard composite body armor is between the above two types. It is a composite body armor with soft material as the inner lining and hard material as the panel and reinforcing material.
