Armor materials
Opaque and transparent materials selected according to the level of protection required.
Aramid fibers
Kevlar® aramid fiber armor offers protection with less weight. Among its advantages are better maneuverability and payload, resistance to cuts and stability against fire. The material will not melt or shrink from exposure to heat and maintains its ballistic performance after years of service.
AR-500 armor steel
Alloy with a hardness of 500 Brinell used to reinforce crowns, posts, fire wall, fenders, battery and radiator, among other areas. At higher levels, steel is used for more of the opaque armor.
