Protective and Ballistic Knitted Fabric Production
topic
Protective knitted fabric production processes para-aramid, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and high-tenacity nylon yarns on modified circular and warp knitting machines to produce stab-resistant, cut-resistant, and ballistic-resistant textile structures for protective gloves, body armour liners, and stab-proof vests, with the knitted loop structure providing a degree of flexibility and conformability that rigid plate armour cannot achieve.
Role
Produces flexible protective textiles for law enforcement, military, and industrial protective equipment applications where the knitted structure provides the body conformability and comfort needed for sustained wear while high-performance fibres provide the impact energy absorption and penetration resistance required by protective performance standards including EN 388 for cut and abrasion resistance.
