Company Profile
The primary objective of our manufacturing
operation is the production of bullet and explosion
(shrapnel) resistant composites for application as protection of
personnel, vehicles, electrical
and electronic panels, switchgear, power lines and generators, fuel
lines, tanks and other
strategic installations which, if damaged or destroyed may result in
major loss of production
and thus income to industry.
Azureflex ® &
Azureshield ® Composites
Our ballistic composite range developed for body armour, first
introduced in 1994
is searched and developed in the Republic of South Africa addressing
our local security requirements at S.A.B.S. 1658: 1996 level D, C,
and B and the N.I.J. 0101.04 and
0101.05 levels II, IIIA and III specifications.
The primary and critical focus on our products are weight and
limited trauma. To achieve these
results, weight and performance is governed by global market prices
and availability of raw
materials to meet with specifications.
Standard Specifications
- Bullet resistant. (as specified)
- Slice resistant.
- Able to take multi shots.
- Anti-microbial.
- Flame and fire resistant. (strike face)
- Shatterproof.
- Stab resistant.
- Water resistant.
- Highly effective against Teflon coated
ammunition.
- Composite S2003 has the added advantage of
being positively buoyant which lends itself to
the application of floatation "vests" for Naval use.
All products are manufactured including a trauma pad to protect the
wearer from blunt trauma
as a result of gunfire and can be used stand- alone without woven
aramid fibre products
ensuring comfort and cost effectiveness.
Both the S.A.B.S. and N.I.J. standards and specifications allow for
a maximum trauma of
44mm, a minimum distance from the edge of 75mm and distance between
shots of 50mm.
Azureflex has an excellent record of performance against multi-
shots with an equally
good record of low trauma. All armour is manufactured to be able to
stop and absorb shots
up to 10mm to the edge and 10mm apart.
