300 denier Kevlar Correctional technology

DuPont announces its Kevlar portfolio with the addition of 300 denier Kevlar Correctional technology. This patented technology provides a concealable anti-spike solution that helps vests meet National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standard 0115.00 and, when blended with other Kevlar ballistic materials, can provide multiple threat protection from both bullets and hand-made weapons. When an improvised stabbing instrument strikes the material, the fibers prevent passage through the body armor by dissipating the energy and restricting the instrument from pushing the fibers apart. In addition to delivering a high level of protection, vests made with Kevlar Correctional technology are also lightweight and flexible enough to conceal under uniforms, offering comfort for the full duration of a shift.
