SHEAR THICKENING FLUIDS
Our family of patents covering a form of “liquid armour” were developed inside BAE Systems’ Advanced Technology Centre and transferred to us for further development and commercialization. The “liquid armour” product is a shear thickening fluid (STF) designed to enhance fabric performance (e.g.: Kevlar) against a variety of threats including spike, knife and ballistic projectiles. These products are ideally suited to enhance soft body armour or as vehicle armour appliqué or interior spall liners.
