Problems solved by technology

[0016] For example, WO2009048674 (A2) covers rigid armor applications reinforced with thermoplastic matrix materials, but does not address the advantages of using thermoplastic resin blends, nor does it address the need for heat resistance
Additionally, a selected resin will not be suitable for exposure to temperatures above the typical 60°C to 80°C where softening and stressed flow will occur

[0108] Reference Example R1 :

[0109] Pre-impregnated with 400g / m by the following method 2 area weight and is composed of fibers with a decitex linear quality of 3140 and can be trademarked 129 Commercially available polyparaphenylene terephthalamide plain weave fabric from DuPont de Nemours, USA: according to military standard MIL-DTL-62474F, it is compared with 2 B-stepped PVB / phenolic resin films of areal density were calendered together to obtain a pre-impregnated parylene terephthalamide fabric.

[0110] Eighteen layers of the polyparaphenylene terephthalamide pre-impregnated fabric obtained by the method described above were stacked and compression molded in a parallel plate automatic press using a pressure of 10 bar and a temperature of 165° C. for 15 minutes.

[0111] The resulting 18-layer stack was removed from the heat press and allowed to cool to room temperature. The 18-layer composite panels obtained by the above method were conditioned at 25°C and 50% rela...

Abstract

The present invention provides a use of a thermoplastic composition for manufacturing a ballistic protection system, wherein the thermoplastic composition comprises at least a first thermoplastic polymer that has a melting point superior to the melting point of a second thermoplastic polymer, and wherein the second thermoplastic polymer is dispersed in a continuous or co-continuous phase of the first thermoplastic polymer. Further, the present invention provides a ballistic protection system comprising c. at least one ballistic fabric and; d. at least one thermoplastic composition for use in ballistic applications, wherein the thermoplastic composition as set forth above.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to materials comprising polymer blends having utility in the manufacture of articles intended for use in civilian and / or military protection systems. Background of the invention [0002] Aramid fibers are a class of heat-resistant and strong synthetic fibers. They are used in demanding applications such as aerospace and military applications, ballistic protection, tires and as an asbestos replacement. [0003] In ballistic protection applications, aramid fibers are often present in multiple superimposed woven layers. Unlike most polymer fibers, the high tensile strength of aramid fibers makes them the material of choice for ballistic protection systems, especially when exposed to harsh environmental conditions. [0004] Composite armor is widely used in, for example, vehicle applications to protect the user from bullets, splinters or any other type of impact or related threats. [0005] Composite armor combines balli...
