Ceramic Ballistic Plates

At Steel Defender, we provide our customers with state of the art modular body armor, including different types of ballistic missile-proof vests. We install ceramic ballistic plates, as well as steel protective plates, into our body armor. These materials and the process with which we build the armor will defend you against major projectile blows. This blog will describe a bit about ceramic ballistic plates, so that you can understand what the material is, exactly.

            Steel Defender inserts the ceramic ballistic plates into the soft type body armor. The soft outside helps to absorb shocks, and then the inside is composed of this very durable, thick material. A ceramic ballistic plate is not as obscure as it would seem. The word “ballistic” simply means that the vest (or whatever is at hand) has to do with projectiles, things that fly through the air, missiles, etc. With that in mind, you know that a modular body army vest with ceramic ballistic plates in it will have plates made of hard ceramic that will defend the vest-wearer against the shots or blow of a ballistic projectile.

            Ceramic plates are used by United States national officials for protection as well. These are not any less than the very best out there. The plates are ideal because they are relatively lightweight, given the amount of protection and durability they offer. They are easily replaced and can be inserted with one or two of them in the same soft vest. Steel Defender is a great proponent of this type of material, because time and again, it saves human lives.
