An Al₂O₃+PE ballistic plate is a type of body armor designed to provide protection against high-velocity projectiles, such as rifle rounds. This type of armor plate is often used in conjunction with soft body armor (like Kevlar) and inserted into a carrier, forming a complete ballistic vest or armor system.
The notation "Al₂O₃+PE" refers to the materials used in the plate:
Al₂O₃ (aluminum oxide): This is also known as alumina, which is a ceramic material. Ceramic plates are used in body armor because they are very hard and can shatter or fracture upon impact, disrupting and absorbing the energy from the projectile. This helps to prevent the projectile from penetrating the armor and causing injury.
PE (polyethylene): PE is a type of synthetic polymer often used in body armor for its lightweight and flexible properties. It is typically used as a backing material to catch any fragments or secondary impacts after the ceramic has disrupted the projectile. The combination of ceramic and PE provides a balance of hardness and flexibility, making it an effective choice for body armor plates.
The "Ballistic Plate Body Armor" you mentioned is designed to stop projectiles fired from firearms. The protective level "NIJ III, IV" refers to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standards for body armor protection:
NIJ Level III: Armor plates rated at this level are designed to stop rifle rounds. They provide protection against 7.62mm FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) bullets, often from common military rifles like the AK-47. However, they may not provide protection against armor-piercing (AP) or steel-core ammunition.
NIJ Level IV: This is a higher level of protection and is designed to stop armor-piercing rifle rounds. Level IV plates are designed to withstand multiple hits from 7.62mm AP bullets, such as those fired from weapons like the .30-06 M2-AP.
In summary, Al₂O₃+PE ballistic plates with a NIJ III, IV rating offer a high level of protection against a variety of rifle rounds, making them suitable for military, law enforcement, and other tactical applications where protection against high-velocity projectiles is necessary.
