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.
They are constructed from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber reinforcements combined with a proprietary resin system in a continuous pultrusion manufacturing process.

Fiber reinforced composites are a popular material of choice for reliable performance, providing high flexural strength and excellent resistance to heat, moisture, and chemical exposure.
Drawing on over 65 years of composite expertise in manufacturing high performance archery bow limbs - which require consistent, deep deflection under high loads each time the bowstring is pulled - the Gordon Composites team has translated this technology into continuous fiber reinforced composite springs that are specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of vibratory conveyors.
