Applications

For over three decades, our Twaron® has been helping to safeguard lives, providing durable and sustainable, impact-resistant ballistic protection for military, enforcement professionals and vehicles.

Body armor

Body armor made with Twaron® is light, flexible, and designed to withstand mechanical stress and harsh conditions. Discover why users trust Twaron® body armor for reliable performance throughout its wearable life.

Helmets

Explore how ballistic helmets ​strengthened​ with Twaron® provide impact protection against projectiles, shrapnel, and blunt force trauma, reducing head injury risk in high-risk environments.

Vehicle armor

Hard ballistic solutions based on Twaron® reduce overall system weight, allowing for enhanced maneuverability, and payload capabilities. Twaron® improves survivability, and is designed to meet the highest demands of ballistic resistance.

Sustainability

Protecting lives, protecting earth

We work with the ballistic protection market to take back manufacturing waste, and used and end-of-life ballistic gear, thereby avoiding landfills. These products are demilitarized, cleaned, chopped and recycled into non-ballistic products.

Products

The all-round high performer. Suitable for manufacturers of products that need to be stronger, lighter, and more resistant to chemicals.
