SPECPROM S-Line Ceramic Armor Plate, Class 6 Protection (25×30 cm)
The SPECPROM S-Line Ceramic Armor Plate is a professional solution for military equipment and combat units where errors are unacceptable. Manufacturer: Specprom. The plate size is 250×300 mm (25×30 cm), thickness is 23 mm, and weight is only 2.9 kg, making it one of the lightest Class 6 armor plate solutions on the market.
This plate combines high-tech materials and a multi-layered construction that ensures maximum energy absorption upon impact and minimizes secondary injuries to the user. The design is developed for use in the first line, assault units, and when performing the most complex combat missions.
Plate Construction and Layers
- 1. Inner layer — foamed polyethylene for primary impact energy dissipation.
- 2. Main energy-absorbing layer — UHMWPE (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene), which dissipates energy after bullet core destruction.
- 3. Protective barrier — silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic, which destroys the bullet core and absorbs the main impact impulse.
- 4. Additional layer of foamed polyethylene to enhance cushioning and reduce traumatic impact.
- 5. Outer layer — wear-resistant CORDURA 500D fabric for abrasion protection and extended plate lifespan.
The plate has 85% ceramic coverage — approximately 30% more than many analogues, thanks to which almost the entire front surface of the plate possesses ballistic properties, evenly distributing the load and minimizing protection “blind spots.”
Advantages of Silicon Carbide (SiC)
Silicon carbide provides outstanding physical and mechanical characteristics: hardness of about 9.5 on the Mohs scale, high thermal resistance up to +1700°C, and density of 3.21 g/cm³ (lower than Al₂O₃ at approximately 3.95 g/cm³). This allows for significant weight savings — about 20% lighter compared to aluminum oxide analogues while maintaining high strength and ballistic properties.
Ballistic Testing and Standard Compliance
The armor plate is certified according to DSTU Class 6 requirements and meets NIJ IV level according to NATO standards. Test results confirm that the plate withstands hits from 7.62×54 mm B-32 armor-piercing bullets from an SVD sniper rifle when fired at a distance of 10 meters. Testing was performed according to strict DSTU protocols; ballistic test protocols are supplied with each armor plate.
