Composite resin ARA DEFEND™ 50100

low-viscositytwo-component

Composite anti-ballistic armor is key to protecting law enforcement and military personnel. With traditional composite armor, exposure to higher temperatures degrades armor’s performance. Traditional composite armor resins have shorter processing times that present manufacturing challenges, particularly when producing larger panels. ARA DEFEND™ Resin Systems are engineered to improve damage tolerance and multi-hit performance, while delivering superior durability and performance at higher temperatures, resulting in extended armor life cycle and protection. ARA DEFEND™ Resin Systems are two-component, low-viscosity composite resin systems with good latency. This allows for longer working times for better infusion of larger panels via Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM), Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) and Dynamic Fluid Compression Molding (DFCM). These resin systems are designed to cure at relatively low temperatures allowing for easier processing and flexibility in large-scale production, while delivering state-of-the-art product and manufacturing performance. Huntsman Advanced Materials ARA DEFEND™ products are export restricted by the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. § 2751, et seq.) or the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (50 U.S.C. § 4801, et seq.), and are subject to export control licensing requirements and cannot be exported outside the U.S. without obtaining prior U.S. government authorization.
