When it comes to protective solutions, especially level IV body armor and ballistic plates, Integris Composites has carved a niche for itself. Here is what sets us apart:
Whether you spell it armour or armor, our dedication to providing top-notch protective solutions remains unwavering. Choosing Integris Composites means opting for excellence, security, and unmatched expertise.
For professionals relying on body armor for their safety, the weight and thickness of the protective gear is a defining factor. They seek solutions that are lightweight, yet uncompromising in protection. This is where our hard body armor plates in ESAPI, swimmers’ cut, shooters’ cut or our proprietary multicurve shape come into play. Designed meticulously, these plates ensure optimal protection without weighing the user down or restricting natural movement.
We are witnessing a change in the definition of hard armor plates. With current standards falling behind on development in threats, more and more composite plates are requested to defeat calibers outside the conventional standards. Integris Composites has a long history of supplying governments and federal agencies with special threat plates to defeat M855A1, SS109, 7N10, or 7.62x54R ammunition.
In the world of defense and security, time is of the essence. Delays in receiving essential protective gear can delay your mission. Recognizing this urgency, Integris Composites prioritizes swift lead times, ensuring our body armor plates and other standard products reach our clients when they need them most.
Every mission, every task force, and every individual have unique protection requirements. This often necessitates tailored armor plates, specifically designed in accordance with prevalent test standards. Moreover, when integrating these plates with soft solutions, certification becomes paramount.
We recognize this intricate need, ensuring our ballistic armor and vest plates are developed and certified to meet rigorous standards, providing peace of mind to the wearer. As one of the largest providers of hard body armor plates globally, we provide a large portfolio of plates certified in accordance with prevalent standards such as NIJ 0101.04, NIJ 0101.06, VPAM, as well as numerous national standards.
Hard body armor plates are primarily made of composite materials like ceramics, high-performance polyethylene, or a combination to offer superior ballistic protection.
Protection levels range from Level IIIA to Level IV, with each level designed to stop specific types of ammunition and threats, with Level IV being the highest protection against armor-piercing riffle threats.
Integris' plates can defeat a wide array of rifle-fired armor piercing ammunitions, such as 5.56x45 SS109 or 7.62x39 API BZ. If you need a plate that protects against this type of ammunition, look for the special threat plates. Most of them are tested in accordance with NIJ 0101.04 or 06 as well as the requested more aggressive ammunition.
The protection standard for your plates should align with the specific threats you anticipate encountering, and it's recommended to consult national or international ballistic test standards to ensure optimal safety. If you have any questions about this, we can consult you.
"In conjunction with" plates are designed to be worn with soft armor backing to achieve the specified level of protection, while "stand-alone" plates offer the specified protection level without the need for any additional backing.
