Monolithic Ceramic Plates for Vehicle Protection

In the field of aircraft armoring in particular, the use of large, monolithic Qitin® Armor Ceramics segments enables solutions which ensure the highest level of effectiveness with low weight. Thanks to our modern production technology, we are able to create a large variety of geometries characterized by very precise cuts, among other things. Optional holes and cut-outs are also possible via machine processing.

You benefit from these advantages:

• Lower weight than conventionally used hard armor materials (e.g Alumina ceramics, armor steel plates)
• High degree of hardness
• Protects against armor-piercing bullets, even with multiple hits
• Large variety of geometries possible
• Cost-effective material: Reaction-bonded silicon carbide with a reduced proportion of metallic silicon and favorable cost-effectiveness
• Weight-optimized material: Reaction-bonded boron carbide with a higher degree of hardness and excellent protection Performance
• Protection according to STANAG level 1-5 possible when using a suitable backing
