Abstract:
1. Flexible penetration-resistant package, comprising a) at least one laminate consisting of at least one layer of yarns comprising fibers with a strength of at least 900 MPa as per ASTM D-885, wherein the layer of yarns is bound to at least one polymer continuum having a modulus of elasticity in extension of 5 to 1000 MPa as per ASTM D-882, and wherein the package has an outer surface facing the side under attack and an inner surface facing away from the side under attack, and b) a layer of compressible material, the layer arranged either on the inner surface of the package or at such a position in the package between the laminates that from this position the number of laminates toward the outer surface of the package is at least twice the number of laminates toward the inner surface, wherein the polymer continuum comprises a thermoplastic polymer, an elastomeric polymer, a duromeric polymer, polyamides, polyetherketones, ionomeric resins, phenolically modified resins, polyesters, polyethylenes, or mixtures thereof, and wherein the compressible material is selected from the groups consisting of foam plastics, feathers and spacer fabrics.
