The Process Through Which Safeguard Clothing Are Made

By Frank Patterson


In the times we are living in, the levels of insecurity have escalated to high levels, and we cannot only rely on the police to protect us. Thanks to the existence of safeguard clothing we are able to protect ourselves although we are not indestructible. The article below talks about how bullet proof clothes are made and what materials are used.

You may wonder how these bullet proof clothes are made and this article explains a bit of it. The manufacturers produce fiber or filament that is light but at the same time strong. They can use either Dyneema or Kevlar. They are the most common ones. Kevlar is used by spinning a solid thread from a liquid chemical blend. Dyneema, on the other hand, is formed by a gel-spinning process which means a lot of strength combined with softness.

The manufactures are able to weave all of those individual fibers into yarns and cords. The yarn is a long continuous fiber suitable for the production of fabrics and sheet materials. The yarn appears like normal material and also comes in different colors. The most commonly used are black, jungle green and at times the color white.

A sheet material is formed as the yarn are woven further. These materials appear like normal fabric material which you would take to a tailor for them to make clothing for you. This material is then taken to the protection clothing making companies where the process of making bullet proof clothes can now begin.

The material is not cut with scissors in case you are wondering. There are special machines used to cut multiple materials at the same time and into different sizes. A wide variety of test is done in order to determine the proper thickness of the ballistic material. The thickness of the material, in the end, depends entirely on what the manufacturer was trying to achieve.

The required thickness of fabric, depending on the level of protection needed, is assembled in a way to form a ballistic panel. Kevlar layers are then stitched together to form these panels. The vests are usually not all of the same thickness, meaning others are safer compared to others. This means that you purchase a vest according to the kind of danger you are likely to get into.

The next step is to put the material under covers. The covers help to prevent them being affected by factors such as humidity and water. The cover is like an umbrella that protects you from the sun or the rain. The cover actually highly contributes to giving the best its bullet proof characteristics.

Finally, there is a ballistic cover carrier. It actually has pockets in which ballistic panels are inserted and are able to hold positions on to the physique of the person clothing it. It is actually possible to increase the number of pockets in the coat or jacket, and that is basically how a simple bullet proof vest is made.
