Abstract:
1. A system for making a ballistic material resistant to penetration from bullets, shrapnel, debris, and other lethal missiles, comprising: means for dyeing a flexible conformable low surface energy fabric, forming a dyed fabric, wherein the flexible conformable low surface energy fabric has a first thickness of at least three mils; a roll coating device for continuously coating a top surface of the dyed fabric with an acrylic based adhesive, forming a coated fabric; an extruder for applying a liner to the coated fabric; at least one nip roller for receiving the liner and the coated fabric simultaneously and pressurably applying the liner to the coated fabric, forming a coated lined fabric; at least one displacement slitter for receiving the coated lined fabric and cutting the coated lined fabric into at least one desired size, forming a cut lined fabric; a fabric printer for printing the cut lined fabric with a fast drying acrylic ink, forming a ballistic material having a second thickness up to 300% larger than the first thickness and which is tough, resistant to bullet penetration from a range of six feet from the ballistic material; and a continuous cutter for cutting the ballistic material into a desired shape.
