Abstract
Material useful in bullet-proof clothing is formed from a number of laminates arranged one on top of another. The laminates are preferably formed of a substrate coated with a crushed thermosettable foam that is, in turn, covered with a surface film, which may be an acrylic polymer. The films should form the outermost layers of the composite material which, together with the foam layer, prevent degradation of the substrate, which is typically formed of fabric woven from Kevlar.
Claims29
A soft body armor protective shield or garment comprising a plurality of laminates superimposed one on the other, each laminate comprising a plastic surface film adhered to a layer of a cross-linked thermoset resilient emulsion adhered to a substrate of high force resistance fabric.
A soft body armor protective shielding comprising a plurality of laminates superimposed one on the other, at least one of said laminates comprising a plastic surface film adhered to a layer of a cross-linked thermoset resilient emulsion adhered to a substrate of high force resistance fabric.
The method of fabricating a soft body armor bullet-proof shield or garment comprising the steps of:
- forming a plurality of laminates, at least one of which is formed by adhering a layer of cross-linked thermoset emulsion to a substrate of high force resistance fabric and adhering a plastic surface film to the layer, and superimposing the plurality of laminates one upon the other.
A protective shield or garment comprising a plurality of laminates superimposed one on the other, each laminate comprising a layer of a resilient emulsion adhered to a substrate of high force resistance fabric.
