Experience the future of personal protection with our innovative liquid-based combat armor. This lightweight and flexible body armor utilizes shear-thickening and magnetorheological fluids that harden instantly upon impact, providing superior energy dissipation. Formed from silica particles suspended in polyethylene glycol, it creates hydroclusters to absorb shock effectively. With four layers of STF-treated Kevlar outperforming traditional fabrics, our armor ensures maximum safety without the need for electricity. Embrace cutting-edge technology for enhanced mobility and protection in the field.

Liquid -Based Combat Armor • Light and flexible body armor . • Hardens instantly and reversibly, allowing thinner, lighter more flexible armor. • Based on liquids that behave like a solid in especial conditions: • Shear-thickening fluid • Magnetorheological fluid
Shear Thickening fluid (STF) • Hardens instantly • Behaves like a solid when encounters mechanical stress. • Formed of silica particles suspended in polyethylene glycol. Forming a Colloid
The energy of a sudden impact stick together the particles forming Hydroclusters. • Four layers of STF-Treated Kevlar can dissipate the same amount of energy as 14 of neat Kevlar. • Requires no electricity.
Magnetoreological Fluid (MR) • Hardens instantly, after a person actives the magnetic field. • Requires current traveling to create a magnetic field. • Based on a ferrofluid, “oils” filled with iron particles between 3 and 10 microns.
