Applications

Rubber and plastics play critical roles in Security and Defense applications, offering unique properties like lightweight strength, chemical resistance, stealth capabilities, thermal insulation, shock absorption, and electrical insulation. These materials are increasingly used in both military-grade equipment and homeland security systems. Demand grows for ballistic-resistant, EMI-shielding, and durable materials amid global security tech advancements.

Characteristics of Security & Defense Applications:

✤ Extreme Threats: Ballistics, explosions, EMP, chemical agents.

✤ Harsh Environments: Desert heat to arctic cold, deep-sea pressure.

✤ Stealth Needs: Radar absorption (RAM), thermal/IR signature reduction.

✤ Zero-Failure Mandate: Critical mission reliability.

Materials must meet specific properties as below:

Critical Property Requirements:

✤ Ballistic/Impact Resistance: STANAG/MIL-STD certified.
