Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a ballistic panel, said panel being comprised of a plurality of staple fiber fabric layers and elastomer the purpose of which is to be used for protecting against firearm projectiles.
- the present invention is particularly directed to a ballistic panel, which is attached to objects to be used as a shield to firearm projectiles.
- the ballistic panels formed from technical fiber fabric or highly resistant fiber fabric layers associated with polymeric matrix are known to one skilled in the art.
- technical woven cloth that provide a fierce resistance to the impact of firearm bullets, reference may be made to aramid and polyaramid, glass fiber, ceramics, and the like.
- polyaramid fiber aromatic polyaramid or aramid
- this present invention refers to a ballistic panel made from a plurality of aramid fiber fabric layers having a specific tenacity, said fabric being intertwined with a layer of polymeric film, or, in a variant, impregnated with a polymeric elastomer composition, thus allowing the use of a reduced number of layers, providing a lighter panel that is resilient enough to be used as a ballistic protection by absorbing the kinetic energy of a bullet and allowing same to return to its original shape after the impact.
- the impregnation of the aramid fabric can be carried out, for example, by spreading on the fabric a bath of a polymeric matrix with a ruler on a rake.
- the material is preferably applied with the aid of a ruler on both sides of the fabric, and then it is vulcanized in a press that applies pressure and temperature.
- the resulting sandwich, with as many aramid layers as desired, is applied to the armor, for example, on opaque places of vehicles.
- the present invention is directed to a ballistic panel comprising several technical fiber fabric layers intertwined with a polymeric film layer, or, in a constructive variant, the fabric layer is impregnated with a polymeric matrix that makes the fabric impermeable to water in addition to the adhesion of the several layers that are stacked over one another, and processed under high temperature and pressure.
- technical fiber fabric is the fabric for ballistic use that is particularly selected among the group consisting of aramid fibers, polyaramid, glass fiber, ceramic fibers, etc. Particularly, use is made of the aramid fiber fabric.
- the panel is made by adhering about 6 to 7 layers of said fabric impregnated with the polymeric matrix, or, in a constructive variant, 6 to 7 technical fiber fabric layers intertwined with a polymeric film layer.
- the aramid fabric used has tenacity higher than 20 gpd (grams by denier) that provides at the same time a good resistance to the impact of firearm projectiles, and makes it possible to use a reduced number of layers, providing a low-weight panel.
- the polymeric film or impregnation material of the aramid fiber fabric is a polymeric matrix, preferably selected among elastomers, thermoplastic polymers (polyethylene or ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer) , resin (phenolic or epoxy) , polyurethane, or mixtures thereof.
- the impregnation may be carried out by any prior art process, for example, by spreading the matrix with the aid of a ruler so that the matrix is evenly distributed on the surface of the fabric. This impregnation is carried out on both sides of the fabric, the layers being then stacked on one another and conveyed to be vulcanized in a press that applies pressure and temperature. The resulting panel is finished to be applied, for example, to opaque seats of vehicles.
- the panel is manufactured with the aid of a press that, in view of the pressure and temperature, promotes the union of the impregnated fabric layers, for example, in accordance with the following steps:
- thermocouple (-200 ⁇ 760° C) , thermometer (0 to 300°C) and pressure gauge (0 to 500 kgf/cm 2 ) of the press;
- the process of manufacturing the ballistic panel comprises a previous step of impregnating said fabric.
- the calibration of the thermocouple ⁇ -200 ⁇ 760°C) , thermometer (0 - 300°C) and pressure gauge (0 to 500 kgf/cm 2 ) is then checked out before placing the impregnated fabric layers on the press.
- a visual verification of the cleanness conditions thereof is made, checking whether it is free of soil, flaws, particles or strange bodies.
- the press is then prepared by placing a stainless steel tray with a protecting material layer on the lifting table, for example, teflon, and then about 6 to 7 layers of impregnated fabric, or the fabric and the polymeric film are placed alternatively, and finally a identification label is inserted into the final layer that is covered with a layer of protecting material (teflon) .
- a protecting material layer for example, teflon
- each module of the press is loaded with at most 6 to 7 panels, thus providing a homogeneous panel.
- the layers are then pressed at a pressure higher that 10 bar/223.60 ⁇ 3 kgf/cm 2 , under a temperature between 120°C and 190°C, for about 10 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of layers.
- the finished panels are then removed from the press to cool, and afterwards a visual inspection is carried out in order to check whether there is any bubble, soil, or poor adhesion among the fabric layers.
- the thus manufactured ballistic panel provides a higher resistance to the penetration of firearm projectiles than the ones of the prior art, and the layers are fully adhered to one another by covering the fabrics with the polymeric matrix that absorbs the kinetic energy without allowing the 6 to 7 layers to separate from one another. Also, the panels have a lower weight, and in view of the reduced number of layers the weight of the automobile is drastically reduced.
- test samples were rigidly fixture on an indoor range 16.5 feet from the muzzle of a test barrel to produce zero degree obliquity impacts.
- Velocity screens were positioned at 6.5 and 9.5 feet which, in conjunction with elapsed time counters (chronographs) , were used to compute projectile velocities 8.0 feet forward of the muzzle.
- Penetrations were determined by visual examination of a 0.020 inch thickness alloy 2024T3 aluminum witness panel positioned 6.0 inches behind, and parallel to, the test samples. Steel plates were attached to the tested panels in order to simulate the vehicle metal body.
- Thicknesses 0,199, 0,172, 0,181, 0,181 in.
- Thicknesses 0,147, 0,176, 0,183, 0,189 in.
- Thicknesses 0,182, 0,191, 0,182, 0,200 in.
- Thicknesses 0,183, 0,159, 0,197, 0,179 in.
- Table I refers to a summary of the results.
- test samples submitted for testing satisfied the ballistic resistance requirements of NIJ-STD-0108.01, Level IIIA.
- the present panel provides a full resistance to the penetration of .44 Magnum and 9 mm Luger caliber bullets, by the combination of the tenacity of its technical fiber fabricused in 6 or 7 layers impregnated with a polymeric matrix joined by compression under temperature.
