NIJ Certified Level IV 5x8 UHMWPE Ceramic Composite Plates – Lightweight, Compact Protection for Side and Trauma Coverage (Model 4S17)

Optimize ballistic protection with NIJ Certified Level IV 5x8 UHMWPE Ceramic Composite plates (Model 4S17), which meet the NIJ 0101.06 standard. Engineered to provide the highest level of defense in a compact and lightweight form, these plates weigh just 3 lbs each and are designed to stop armor-piercing (AP) rounds with the superior strength of ceramic and UHMWPE technology.

What is UHMWPE?

Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is an incredibly strong, lightweight synthetic polymer known for its extreme impact resistance and durability. It’s up to 15 times stronger than steel while being significantly lighter, making it an ideal material for ballistic armor. When combined with ceramic layers, it delivers maximum stopping power while remaining wearable and lightweight.

Key Features:

  • Level IV Protection: Certified to the NIJ 0101.06 standard, these plates stop .30-06 M2 AP rounds, ensuring the highest standard of ballistic protection.
  • Advanced UHMWPE Ceramic Composite Construction: The ceramic strike face shatters and neutralizes incoming rounds, while the UHMWPE backing absorbs the energy, preventing penetration.
  • Compact 5x8 Size: Ideal for side protection, providing critical coverage for key areas like the liver and kidneys, and also suitable as trauma pads behind larger plates.
  • Multi-Purpose Protection: Perfect for enhancing body armor systems, additional vehicle protection, or integrating into tactical backpacks. Their lightweight construction offers discreet yet powerful defense.

Upgrade body armor with lightweight, durable Level IV UHMWPE Ceramic Composite plates (Model 4S17) that meet the NIJ 0101.06 standard, designed to provide maximum protection and mobility. Ideal for military, law enforcement, security professionals, and civilians looking for advanced ballistic defense.
