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.
Avient collaborated with Edwards to develop ballistic-
resistant panels that were not only compatible with the
required hardware but also met color requirements for
better visual cover once deployed.
With our hardware fabrication capabilities and
Avient’s knowledge of composite ballistic protection
technology, we were able to create modular systems
that reduce time and logistic requirements for our brave
soldiers.”
