Abstract
The invention relates to an armor comprising in front to back order at least one rigid first panel comprising inorganic fibers and at least one second panel comprising polymeric fibers, characterized in that the at least one rigid first panel has a flexural strength of at least 300 MPa and the at least one second panel has a flexural strength of at most 250 MPa.
Claims15
An armor comprising in front to back order at least one rigid first panel comprising inorganic fibers and at least one second panel comprising polymeric fibers, characterized in that the at least one rigid first panel has a flexural strength of at least 300 MPa and the at least one second panel has a flexural strength of at most 250 MPa.
A method for retrofitting structures in particular vehicles or buildings, comprising the steps of:
- (i) providing an armor comprising in front to back order at least one rigid first panel comprising inorganic fibers and at least one second panel comprising polymeric fibers, wherein the at least one rigid first panel has a flexural strength of at least 300 MPa and the at least one second panel has a flexural strength of at most 250 MPa;
- (ii) adapting said armor to be operably engaged with an interior and/or an exterior surface of the structure to be protected;
- and (iii) mounting said armor to cover at least partly said interior and/or exterior surface of said structure to be protected.
