The Process Through Which Safeguard Clothing Are Made

By Frank Patterson


In the times we are living in, the levels of insecurity have escalated to high levels, and we cannot only rely on the police to protect us. Thanks to the existence of safeguard clothing we are able to protect ourselves although we are not indestructible. The article below talks about how bullet proof clothes are made and what materials are used.

If you have always wondered how bullet proof vests are made, the article explains a little bit about what happens on the basis of manufacture and material used to produce. The most important materials are those that make it impenetrable even by bullets. The most commonly used materials are Kevlar and Dyneema. Manufactures are able to form light but strong fiber from these material but it is of course after they undergo a process to soften them up to suit the quality required.

The manufactures are able to weave all of those individual fibers into yarns and cords. The yarn is a long continuous fiber suitable for the production of fabrics and sheet materials. The yarn appears like normal material and also comes in different colors. The most commonly used are black, jungle green and at times the color white.

A sheet material is formed as the yarn are woven further. These materials appear like normal fabric material which you would take to a tailor for them to make clothing for you. This material is then taken to the protection clothing making companies where the process of making bullet proof clothes can now begin.

There are special machines that are used to cut up the material into smaller piece. They can be able to cut into different sizes as required. The front and the back are of different sizes, and these too are put into consideration. The material may be all soft but cutting it up with scissors will take forever and it you are more likely to make mistakes.

The cut up material is assembled in a way to form ballistic panels. A number of the cut up materials are placed on top of each other until the thickness required is accomplished. Layers of Kevlar are stitched together in order to form these panels. Different vests have different thicknesses depending on who they are made for.

After those materials are combined to make a certain thickness, they are to be placed in a protective cover. This is like using an umbrella to protect yourself from the sun or from the rain. In this case a heat sealed cover is used to protect the ballistic panels from things like water and humidity. The cover contributes to giving the vest its bullet proof qualities.

The flying cover carrier has pockets in which ballistic panels are introduced. The pockets in each carrier can actually be increased in order to carry more ballistics. The pockets also help to hold in place the ballistics on the body of the person wearing it. This is the simplest way bullet proof vest making can be explained.
