Gordon Composites™ Continuous fiber thermoplastic reinforcement for panels and seating Rail & Marine

THE SOLUTION This coordinated effort resulted in the innovative Modular Protective System (MPS) portable structure, which incorporates an Edwards-designed collapsible truss framework and Avient’s GlasArmor™ ballistic resistant composite panels. 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. THE IMPACT The MPS incorporates Avient’s custom-formulated GlasArmor ballistic panels that meet Level 3 protection under Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 standards for ballistic resistance.
