Abstract
Material for antiballistic protective clothing comprising in a single-layer or multi-layer package or laminate at least one layer of a flat structure containing an organic dilatancy agent This flat structure is particularly suited for a trauma package in an antiballistic package. The flat structure with a dilatancy agent results in a significant improvement in the antiballistic effect and, in particular, a reduction in the trauma effect. The material finds special application for bullet-proof and splinter-proof vests and correspondingly for helmets. Moreover, the material of the invention can be used in clothing protecting against impact.
