Ceramic Armor Plate, Class 6. Size 25x30 cm. Weight 2.3 kg

Product Overview: The Class 6 ceramic armor plate from Global Ballistics is one of the lightest and most reliable armor plates in its class. With a size of 25x30 cm and a weight of only 2.3 kg, it ensures high ergonomics and comfort during prolonged wear, allowing the operator to maintain maneuverability without compromising protective properties.

The plate's construction is based on a combination of silicon carbide ceramic composite and a layer of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The ceramic layer destroys and dissipates the kinetic energy of armor-piercing projectiles, while UHMWPE acts as a damper, minimizing energy transfer and preventing severe body deformation. This combination achieves an optimal balance between mass, thickness, and protection level.

Certification and Testing

The plate has undergone laboratory testing according to DSTU standards and is used in the arsenals of leading armies worldwide. According to the protocol, the plate withstands three consecutive hits from a 7.62x54 mm B-32 armor-piercing incendiary bullet (fired from an SVD rifle) from a distance of 10 m. The maximum backface deformation depth is 17–20 mm, which meets the requirements for reducing the risk of injury to the wearer. A copy of the test protocol is included with each plate.

Information for professionals: The plate demonstrates effective protection against the B-32 armor-piercing incendiary bullet with a pointed tip and a hardened steel core in a steel jacket. Tests were performed according to standard procedure: three hits from a distance of 10 m, caliber 7.62x54 mm (SVD). The results confirm compliance with protection requirements and permissible backface deformation depth (17–20 mm).

Class 6 ceramic armor plates from Global Ballistics are an optimal choice for those who require the maximum level of protection with minimal weight. The anatomical shape and small thickness make the plate comfortable for integration into body armor and carrying systems, without restricting mobility or creating unnecessary load on the operator. By purchasing this plate, you receive a certified product from a renowned brand, accompanied by a copy of the test protocol.
