Ballistic protective textile structure and method for making it

A ballistics protective bullet-resistant textile structure providing a quick dissipation of an energy of a penetrating bullet, comprising:

• a first warp textile element comprising unidirectional matrix yarns or flat strips;
• a second weft textile element consisting of unidirectional flat strips of a thermoplastic material;
• said unidirectional yarns or flat strips of said first warp textile element being interleaved in a warp arrangement with said second weft textile element;
• said thermoplastic material of second weft textile element being partially softened or melted to rigidly bind said unidirectional matrix yarns or flat strips of said first warp textile element;
• and
• a third non-textile stabilizing element impregnated in said first warp textile element and said second weft textile element for stabilizing and reducing bullet impact traumas, said third non-textile stabilizing element comprising rubber or elastomeric polymer materials or a combination thereof laminated with thermoplastic films;
• said first warp textile element comprising para-aramid matrix yarns or flat strips, or yarns or flat strips of an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) matrix;
• said second weft textile element consisting of flat strips of a para-aramid matrix, processed by glue, adhesive or thermoplastics matrix materials, or UHMWPE matrix flat strips, or thermoplastics films such as polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), or any thermoplastics materials adapted to be extruded to a film form;
• and
• said weft flat strips having a height less than or equal to 2 cm.
