Facing danger head on
Around the world, day after day, soldiers and police officers face life-threatening ballistic hazards in the line of duty. Bullets, shrapnel, grenade fragments, blast effects and mechanical impacts – risks are everywhere, lives are on the line. When it comes to protective headgear, these professionals deserve the very best – no ifs, no buts, no maybes. Today’s military and police helmets must offer superior ballistic protection, while allowing the speed and agility demanded by modern combat situations.
Tough situations call for tough materials. With Twaron® and Endumax®, Teijin is helping to deliver helmets that save lives and prevent injuries. Besides their outstanding strength and energy absorption characteristics, our high-performance materials and solutions are significantly lighter than conventional ones. It means enhanced comfort, agility and performance for the wearer. And it means maximum protection at all times. On that, we’ll never compromise.
It begins with Twaron® and Endumax®
Teijins lightweight, high-strength materials enable superior ballistic protection against a wide range of violent threats – from direct fire and shell fragments to high explosives. Twaron®, our para-aramid fiber, and Endumax®, our ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene film, both have an outstanding energy-absorption-to-weight ratio. Both provide unrivaled long-term stability and impact resistance. And both reduce overall weight by 30-60% compared to ballistic steel.
