3TEX manufacturers three dimensional
woven fabrics that are used to build
superior composite armor systems.
Unlike conventional woven fabrics,
3WEAVE® has virtually no crimp. Crimp, the
crossing of fibers, causes fiber
damage and reduces the fabric
performance. The fibers in 3WEAVE®
are woven together using a "Z" yarn.
Products using 3WEAVE® include body
armor inserts, armored doors, floors
and panels for military vehicles and
protective panels for ships. Our
mission is help our customers build
state-of-the-art armor that:
-
Improves structural performance
-
Increase ballistic and blast
resistance
-
Significantly reduce weight
-
Is cost competitive with
metallic and laminated armor
Product Development
In addition to 3WEAVE®, 3TEX provides
engineering and product development
support for our customers, utilizing
over 30 years of combined experience
in composite armor design. 3TEX
engineers can help develop products
including soft and hard body armor,
vehicle and ship armor and
infrastructure hardening. 3TEX can
also rapidly prototype composite
armor for our customers in our over
50,000 square foot manufacturing
area.
