A SiC+PE ballistic plate designed for personal defense wear typically combines ceramic material, in this case silicon carbide (SiC), and polyethylene (PE) to create a protective plate designed to provide protection against various ballistic threats. Such plates are often used in conjunction with a compatible vest or carrier to create a complete ballistic protection system for individuals, including military personnel, law enforcement officers, or civilians seeking personal protection.

SiC (silicon carbide): Silicon carbide is a very hard ceramic material commonly used in ballistic plates due to its high level of hardness and resistance to penetration. Ceramic materials like SiC are used to disrupt and absorb the energy of incoming projectiles, helping prevent them from penetrating the armor.PE (polyethylene): Polyethylene is a synthetic polymer known for its lightweight and flexible properties. In ballistic plates, it is often used as a backing material to catch any fragments or secondary impacts after the ceramic (SiC) has disrupted the projectile. The combination of ceramic and PE provides a balance of hardness and flexibility in the armor plate.

SiC+PE ballistic plate, the ISO 9001 certification s ests that the manufacturer of these plates follows rigorous quality control and management processes to ensure the reliability and consistency of their ballistic products. This certification is an indicator of the manufacturer's commitment to delivering high-quality protective equipment.

It's important to note that the specific level of ballistic protection provided by a SiC+PE plate can vary depending on the design, thickness, and the intended use. Ballistic plates are typically rated according to recognized standards like those set by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) or other international standards, so it's important to verify the plate's specific protection level when considering its use for personal defense.
