What materials are used for the armor plates of stab-proof vests?
1. Aramid fiber stab vests (such as Kevlar): Aramid fibers are widely used in stab vests due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio. These synthetic fibers are lightweight, flexible, and have high tensile strength. They work by dispersing the impact force across the fibers, reducing the risk of penetration. Aramid stab vests are more common in bulletproof vests due to their higher cost, but they are often composited with other materials such as the Fortis series. These armors tend to be soft and flexible. Kevlar is the brand name for aramid produced by DuPont.
2. Carbon fiber stab vests: In recent years, carbon fiber stab vests have become popular for their blunt force protection and lightweight properties. Unlike traditional large-area plate designs, the Higharmor flexible design bends with the body far better than traditional large-area panel designs for daily wear.
3. Mild steel stab vests: Some manufacturers choose to use mild steel, which is essentially a semi-flexible thin sheet of metal that covers the user's vital organs. It is a poor choice in terms of flexibility, comfort, and impact resistance. These vests tend to be cheaper than other brands of stab vests.
