Our HB-SIC-3A-1012 Silicon Carbide plate delivers the sweet spot between performance and affordability. While alumina oxide plates are the cheapest ceramic armor option, their lower hardness and higher density force users to accept heavier weight and limited multi-hit protection. Silicon Carbide bridges the gap: you get near-boron-carbide performance at a fraction of the cost, with dramatically better protection than alumina.
- NIJ 0101.06 Level III Certified: Stops 7.62*51mm M80 NATO ball ammunition at 2,780 fps (847 m/s)
- 2600 HV Knoop Hardness: Shatters incoming projectiles on impact, dissipating energy across the ceramic strike face
- 6-Round Multi-Hit Capability: Tested and certified to withstand multiple strikes within a 120mm dispersion area
- UHMWPE Composite Backing: Captures fragments and reduces backface deformation to below 25mm
- Single Curve Shooter Cut: Ergonomic design for comfortable wear in plate carriers and tactical vests
- 25% Weight Reduction vs Alumina: At just 2.2 kg per plate, operators stay agile during extended missions
- Law Enforcement Patrol and SWAT Operations
- Private Security and Executive Protection
- Civilian Personal Defense
- Protective Training and Garrison Use
