Fragment Protection: Why Is It Critical?

Shrapnel injuries from explosions, grenades, and artillery shells are among the main threats in modern combat. UHMWPE effectively neutralizes these threats due to its unique properties:

• High energy absorption – dissipates the kinetic energy of fragments, reducing penetration risk
• Minimal backface deformation – absorbs shock waves, lowering injury risk
• Water and temperature resistance – UHMWPE fragmentation panels retain ballistic properties even when wet
