Benefits of technology

The patent describes a new material made from a combination of woven para-aramid yarn and woven stainless steel mesh. This material has high levels of protection against ballistic, cut, stab, and needle weapons. It is lightweight and flexible, making it suitable for use in protective garments. The invention provides an improved solution for protective garments that offer a combination of advanced protection and cost-effectiveness.

Problems solved by technology

The materials are, however, only of average resistance to cut and slash attacks and to puncture by needles.
The garments constructed from such materials, such as, but not limited to, para-aramid based body armor, therefore, provide good protection against gun attacks, but are not particularly effective against knife or needle threats.

Abstract

Garments made from a composite, protective fabric are disclosed. The composite fabric has microflex layers of woven para-aramid yarn placed in proximity to metallic mesh layers of woven stainless steel mesh. The individual poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide fibers in the para-aramid yarn have a denier of less than or equal to 2 dtex. The metallic mesh layers are woven from stainless steel fibers having a diameter of 0.2 mm or less and have a mesh aperture of 0.45 mm or less. The garments made using the fabric include gloves, bullet proof vests and chain-saw resistant trousers.
