I had research for “How is bulletproof clothing made, and I found there are 7 steps for the bulletproof making and more details about the bulletproof materials. Bulletproof vests are modern light armor specifically designed to protect the wearer's vital organs from injury caused by firearm projectiles. To many protective armor manufacturers and wearers, the term "bulletproof vest" is a misnomer. Because the wearer is not totally safe from the impact of a bullet, the preferred term for the article is "bullet resistant vest." Step: 1 “Raw Materials” In order to make bulletproof clothing manufacturers start by producing fiber or filament that is lightweight but strong. One of the most well-known is Kevlar®, which is produced by spinning a solid thread from a liquid chemical blend. Another fiber, Dyneema®, …show more content…
The yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibers, suitable for use in the production of fabrics and sheet material. Step: 3 “Sheet Materials” The yarns are then further woven into a sheet material that is capable of stopping bullets. The sheet materials are what body armor companies use to make the actual bulletproof panels. The final ballistic sheet materials are normally put on rolls around 100-200 meters (330-660 feet) in length and look like rolls of any other textile. Step: 4 “Cutting the Materials” Using large patterns and industrial cutting machines, multiple layers of ballistic material are cut at once. Generally, bulletproof clothing consists of front and back panels that are a slightly different shape and size. The panels used in bulletproof clothing consist of multiple layers of the basic ballistic material and extensive testing is required to identify the proper thickness of ballistic material. The thickness of the final product depends on what level of protection the manufacturer is trying to
