Composite solutions for modern personal protection

In the defense industry, ballistic protective equipment is a key factor in ensuring the safety of military personnel. Modern protective systems must combine maximum protection with minimal weight to ensure mobility, ergonomics, and operational readiness.

SGL Carbon offers high-performance graphite- and fiber-based material solutions specifically developed for use in military protective equipment. Our composite materials enable lightweight, flexible, and highly durable protective systems for demanding operational conditions.

Ballistic body armor systems must meet extreme requirements, ranging from high energy absorption to long-term mechanical stability. SGL Carbon supports manufacturers with material expertise and manufacturing technologies throughout the entire value chain.

Aramid-based prepregs for body armor and helmets

Ductile composite materials such as aramid and ultra‑high‑molecular‑weight polyethylene (UHMW‑PE) are commonly used as flexible ballistic layers for energy absorption and wearer comfort. Tailored fabric production, from woven fabrics to unidirectional (UD) laminates, helps optimize weight, ergonomics, and protection level. SGL Carbon supports these concepts with textiles, prepreg solutions, and its composite expertise.
