Abstract:
A flexible ballistic resistant article comprising a plurality of layers of fabric having an areal density of 2 to 10 kg/m2, wherein at least two of the layers of fabric are loosely woven, the loosely woven fabric layers comprising fabric woven with a fabric tightness factor of 0.3 to 0.6 and comprising continuous filament yarns with a linear density of at least 200 dtex having a tenacity of at least 10 grams per dtex and a tensile modulus of at least 150 grams per dtex, wherein adjacent loosely woven fabric layers are joined together by means for securing the layers to restrict the movement of the loosely woven fabric layers relative to one another.
