Ballistic panels

Empowering endurance

A composite is a combination of two materials with different properties. When they are combined they create a material specialised to do a certain job, for instance to become stronger or lighter. Composites are used because they improve the properties of their base materials and are applicable in many situations.

Honeycomb panels have an extraordinary potential for ballistic purposes as they can absorb strong shockwaves, retain fragments, are lightweight and transportable. Compared to the usual materials used in kinetic absorption strategies, composite materials provide an extra light modular solution with low space consumption. In addition, they can be easily fixed and replaced.

Multiple materials can be used according to the needs of the costumers:

Polypropylene is a rigid material that provides thermal insulation and has a good behaviour to water and humidity;

Textiles can boost the properties of panels; para Aramid textile, for example, prevents its perforation;

​A thick aluminium structure absorbs impacts, thanks to a deformation of the material.

Test for explosion

Example: Roma Termini floating parking lot - 14000 sqm

The system has been studied to be used only in the lowest floor of the parking lot and, coupled with the bearing structure, should withstand the weight of the collapsed upper levels in case of explosion.
