Experimental Study of Twaron T730 for Two Threats Cover

Abstract

This paper presents the result of impact tests with two threats on panels made of Twaron® fabrics T730. Test were done with special equipment, such as firing bench, used for ballistic testing personal protective equipment. There were tested panels with 15 layers against .357 SIG bullets and 9 mm bullets. Working procedure was according with NIJ Standard 0101.06/2008 Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor. Those two panels demonstrated satisfactory ballistic protection capability against the tested projectiles and were able to stop the projectiles before allowing the panel to fully penetrate. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the panels in protecting against ballistic impact and suggest that they may be suitable for various protective applications.
