| Alumina ceramic with a minimum Al2O3 content of 95.0% (typically 96%). This lightweight hard-faced material is especially formulated for ballistic applications. (MTC pioneered monolithic ceramic tiles that are now the accepted standard for body armour.) Prime Features: - Excellent ballistic properties
- High mechanical strength
- Can be moulded as double or single curvature monolithic tiles for ‘ergonomic’ body armour
- Weight savings of up to 10% in comparison with traditional ballistic tile materials
Typical Applications: - Ergonomic body armour for defence and security services
- Armour tiles for battlefield vehicles
Production Capabilities:- Body armour — single and double curvature monolithic tiles, groin tiles, and smaller mosaic tiles
- Vehicle armour — standard tiles, tile kits, and prototypes to customer requirements
- Prototype, batch and volume production
