UD polyethylene fabric
Garanti Kompozit produces its own unidirectional (UD) ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fabric in an integrated, high-capacity plant. It is the raw material for its vests, plates, shields and helmets and for its vehicle and aircraft armour, and it is tested in the company’s own ballistic laboratory.
Where it is used
- Vests and soft protection
- Ballistic plates and shields
- Ballistic helmets
- Vehicle and aircraft armour
