ProTechtor(TM) - engineered for maximum ballistic, stab, and puncture protection with superior blast containment properties, made from 100% para-aramid fibers. Available in density ranges from 3.5 oz/yd2 at 0.065" thick to 128.0 oz/yd2 at 0.750" thick. Atvantage(TM) - composite structural core and insulating core engineered for maximum acoustic, vibration, and thermal attenuation while maintaining structural properties. SafeSorb - a revolutionary new nonwoven composite with extraordinary absorbent properties. Capable of neutralizing deadly forces, including fire and tear gas.
