Splinter-proof protective skin for GRP - is elastomer coating with specific mechanical properties, is applied to side away from oncoming bullet and traps glass fragments formed

摘要

In a splinter-proof protection for GRP components at least the side further from an oncoming bullet has a protective skin of an elastomer with a recovery factor of at least 95%, a compressive permanent set of less than 10%, and at least 300% elongation at break, with an S.G. of about 1.0 to 1.3. This skin is preferably a silicone material. ADVANTAGE - The protection prevents glass splinters from being torn out of the GRP when struck by a bullet. The method of production produces uniform thicknesses of the protective skin and enables the products to be made in bulk with reproducible/constant properties.
