Long fiber composites are the pinnacle of structural performance in injection moldable thermoplastics. However, with long fiber composites the longer length of reinforcing fibers inverts that analogy. In this context, long fiber composites are eco-friendly alternatives to heavier materials.  

THE SOLUTION This coordinated effort resulted in the innovative Modular Protective System (MPS) portable structure, which incorporates an Edwards-designed collapsible truss framework and Avient’s GlasArmor™ ballistic resistant composite panels. GlasArmor panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites provide excellent ballistic stopping power for the MPS while meeting the requirement of being lightweight and portable. THE IMPACT The MPS incorporates Avient’s custom-formulated GlasArmor ballistic panels that meet Level 3 protection under Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 standards for ballistic resistance.
