Law Enforcement Protection

Law enforcement professionals require lightweight, high performance, and affordable body armor that provides high-performance personal protection in a range of scenarios.

Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ industry-leading ceramic materials and differentiated solutions for composite protection systems have been field-tested and approved for more than 50 years. Ballistic threats faced by law enforcement personnel have evolved and are often too demanding for soft armor. New NIJ standards essentially dictate the use of ceramic materials for personal protection systems.

Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ extensive material portfolio and manufacturing capabilities ensure robust, cost-effective and reliable solution for any ceramic armor need. Vertically integrated manufacturing processes ensure quality and consistency, from silicon carbide powder to finished torso plates.

The Forceram^® bonded silicon carbide is almost 30% lighter than alumina. Composite armor designers should also consider Hexoloy^® silicon carbide for high performance, reliable protection. Ceramic armor materials from Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories are available worldwide, supported by a robust export compliance program.
