Composite Panels
PRODUCT SELECTION & INSTALLATION GUIDE
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
Military grade protection
Ballistic resistant composite panels from Avient
are constructed to provide military-grade
protection from armed attackers for any facility.
Originally developed for protection from mortar
fire, fiber-reinforced composite panels offer
superior ballistic resistance at less than 25% of the
weight of a comparable steel panel.
Resistant security
The unique composite matrix of the panels allows
for retention of the projectile to avoid potentially
hazardous ricochet.
