Why Plastic material is more popular these days

Kevlar here, Kevlar there! There is almost no blog or online source you turn to without hearing about the fantastic superman aramid ballistic fabric. Kevlar is largely used by many manufacturers as the standard protective material for bullet resistance abilities. However, is Kevlar the only material with such properties? Definitely not!

Due to its build, most ballistic helmets with Kevlar materials are often heavy and burdensome to wear. This has stirred a lot of manufacturers into seeking for other possible light weighted options which would provide a high level of ballistic rated performance and with a very light weight. After years of research, many manufacturers began to discover the goodness of plastic bullet resistant materials and how effective it can be in the designing of tactical helmets.

Polycarbonate is a special kind of plastic with supreme strength and high level of durability. Not only does it have impact resistant features, it is also ballistic resistant and it can halt the movement of a flying bullet. Today, this plastic is used in different settings. For instance, polycarbonate sheets often contain grade polycarbonate with violent blow resistance. It has a similitude of a glass only that it is lightweight and shatterproof with UV Protection. Yeah, you read right!

Today, this ballistic plastic has gained massive popularity in several industries including agriculture, industry, public buildings and ornaments. It creates a perfect synergy for lightweight, high impact strength, light transmission, frame-resistance, UV protection, anti-drop as well as charming appearance.

What’s more? A clear polycarbonate sheet can be used in place of a glass due to its transparent nature. It also weighs only half of a normal glass making it easier to transit. They have high impact strength with over 200 times the strength of a regular glass and 20 times that of a tempering glass.
