ARMOTEC STEEL

Armotec Steel can be used for both military and civilian applications.

AML have specialist engineering and fabrication services available to ensure that all of their customers' requirements can be supplied.


Armotec steel is manufactured in Europe and represents the best quality armour with properties comparable to Armox 500, Compass B555 and Secure 500.

Features:

• Thickness ranging from 3mm - 60mm

• Maximum plate size 6000mm x 2500mm (depending on thickness)

• Comprehensive technical service

• Ballistic certification provided on tested material

Benefits:

• Multi-hit protection

• Low cost / penetration resistance ratio

• Short delivery times

• Performance is maintained in high and low temperature environments

Armotec 400

Armotec Steel 400 has a lower hardness than the Armotec Steel 500 plate. It has enhanced blast protection provided by its increased toughness and ductility.

Testing:

• Ballistic protection EN1063

• Tensile test EN10002-1

• Brinell hardness test EN10003-1

• Charpy impact test EN10045-1

Dimensions:

Armotec 400 cut lengths 3-12mm. As specified by customer – Max. 6000mm x 2500mm

Tolerances:

• Dimensional tolerance according to EN10 029

• Thickness tolerance according to EN10 029 Class C

• Flatness tolerance according to Class N

Surface Condition:

According to EN10 163-2 Class B Subclass 3

Technical Data:

Ballistic test reports will be available on request

Heat Treatment:

Armotec 400 may not be heated above 2500c if guaranteed hardness is to be maintained.

Armotec 500

Armotec Steel 500 armour plate has excellent ballistic properties due to its high hardness and superior mechanical properties.

Testing:

• Ballistic protection EN1063

• Tensile test EN10002-1

• Brinell hardness test EN10003-1

• Charpy impact test EN10045-1

Dimensions:

Armotec 500 cut lengths 3-12mm. As specified by customer – Max. 6000mm x 2500mm

Tolerances:

• Dimensional tolerance according to EN10 029

• Thickness tolerance according to EN10 029 Class C

• Flatness tolerance according to Class N

Surface Condition:

According to EN10 163-2 Class B Subclass 3

Technical Data:

Ballistic test reports will be available on request

Heat Treatment:

Armotec 500 may not be heated above 2500c if guaranteed hardness is to be maintained.

ARAMID

Bristol Armour Aramid Panels are designed to protect property and personnel from Ballistic Attack. They have been used historically in a variety of applications including Cash In Transit Vehicles, Military Vehicles, Firing Ranges and other secure areas where lighter weight ballistic protection is needed. They are a lower cost alternative to Polyethylene panels and are substantially lighter than mild steel or GRP Armour.

Bristol Armour Aramid panels have different finishes dependent on the binder used to hold them together.

Features:

• Thickness from 1mm to 40mm

• Standard panel size 2440mm x 1220mm (8ft x 4ft), larger panel sizes can be accommodated

• Short delivery times

• Comprehensive technical service

• Ballistic certification provided on tested material

Benefits:

• Flexible and mouldable to complex shapes

• Lightweight

• Excellent impact strength

• Good abrasion and chemical resistance

Aramid PR

Black versions (PR) are made with a rubberised binder which allows them to be bent after pressing. Typical applications for these are floor pans and curved walls.

Aramid PF

Yellow Versions are made from either standard Polyester (PP) resin or our fire retardant resin (PF) These have little flex once moulded but are slightly more weight efficient than the rubberised type.

GLASS FIBRE

Bristol Armour Glass Fibre is manufactured from a fibre reinforced opaque material, providing protection from shell fragments, blast bullets and other projectiles. Uniform protection is provided by the entire panel, which can be supplied in a variety of thicknesses to meet different levels of threat. Panels can be adapted by AML UK to offer protection for walls, doors and counter areas in high risk premises, such as banks and offices handling cash, as well as for vehicles, marine craft and aircraft.

Panels can be easily cut to size on site using standard equipment, so installation is quick and cost-effective. More complex shapes can be machine-cut prior to delivery. Panels can be fitted directly onto traditional timber studwork and wallpaper can be applied directly to the surface.

Bristol Armour Glass Fibre meets the fire resistant standards of BS476 Class 2 and is manufactured under the strictest control procedures to the requirements of ISO9001, with batch-proof testing at an independent firing range before delivery.

Bristol Armour Glass Fibre:

Features:

• Thickness from 1mm to 40mm

• Maximum standard panel size is 3000mm x 2000mm, however larger
  panel sizes can be accommodated

• Comprehensive technical service

• Ballistic certification provided on tested material

Benefits:

• Multi-hit protection

• Low cost / penetration resistance ratio

• Short delivery times

• Fire retardant

• Can be worked with on site

POLYETHYLENE

Bristol Armour Polyethylene Panels are designed to protect property and personnel from Ballistic Attack. They have been used historically in a variety of applications including Cash In Transit Vehicles, Military Vehicles, Firing Ranges and other secure areas where lighter weight ballistic protection is needed.

Bristol Armour Polyethylene panels have a white finish to them. If specified a Glass facing can be applied at time of pressing or bonded on afterwards.

Panels are normally cut to specific sizes by AML UK and we also offer a full CNC Machining and Water Jet cutting service. Some Customers prefer to cut panels themselves on a bandsaw, and, if required, we can offer advice on the correct tools and Health and Safety measures required.

Bristol Armour Polyethylene:

• Thickness from 1.5mm to 120mm

• Standard panel size 2200mm in length and a maximum of 2.2 square metres

• Multi-hit protection

• Very light weight (areal density of 0.97kg/m2)

• Short delivery times

• Comprehensive technical service

• Ballistic certification provided on tested material

BOMB BLANKETS
 

Bomb Blast Suppression Blankets are used to suppress the blast fragmentation from an explosion that can cause damage and injuries.

These Blankets are particularly useful for suspected IEDs contained in packages up to briefcase size and for pipe bombs.

The multiple layer ballistic filler material is enclosed in a heavy duty nylon water resistant cover which is fitted with lifting straps and clearly marked DANGER. Both Blanket and Collar fold into a compact, easily carried holdall bag.

Protection Levels:

• Level 1: fragment velocity 1,312ft/sec (400m/sec) V50 standard

• Level 2: fragment velocity 1,640ft/sec (500m/sec) V50 standard
