Ballistic Resistant Composite Panels PRODUCT SELECTION & INSTALLATION GUIDE KEY CHARACTERISTICS Military grade protection Ballistic resistant composite panels from Avient are constructed to provide military-grade protection from armed attackers for any facility. Originally developed for protection from mortar fire, fiber- reinforced composite panels offer superior ballistic resistance at less than 25% of the weight of a comparable steel panel. Resistant security The unique composite matrix of the panels allows for retention of the projectile to avoid potentially hazardous ricochet.
