SHEAR THICKENING FLUIDS
OVERVIEW

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 commercialisation. They leverage a shear thickening fluid effect to allow for superior performance body armour that offers increased mobility and survivability, giving tactical operators a critical defensive advantage.

 

Features and Benefits

  • Enhanced ballistic resistance
  • Stab protection
  • Impact resistant
  • Flexible
  • Lightweight

DEFENCE APPLICATIONS

Tactical Vests
Blast Suits
Tactical Backpacks
Spall Liners
Helmets
Vehicle Armour
Aircraft Armour

DUAL-USE APPLICATIONS

Beyond defence, the civilian applications of this technology could be truly enormous. From first responders, healthcare, industrial PPE to the multi-billion dollar sports protective equipment market, Liquid Armour has the potential to increase performance, productivity, and to literally save lives.

Potential Applications

  • Sports protection
  • Hip fall protection
  • Industrial safety
  • First Responders

The sports protective equipment market was valued at $7.51 Billion in 2022
