SWEBOR ARMOR

Swebor Armor™ has an excellent, proven history as a protective steel trusted by vehicle manufacturers and engineers around the world to keep people safe.

General description of products

When there is no obstacle between a person and a bullet fired at him, except for a sheet of steel, it is very important that the steel is of good quality. Each project of ballistic protection, a new car, modification of armor or other elements, represents a unique set of requirements, especially in the use of high-quality materials for its implementation.

The creation of the latest technologies of military equipment and design methods poses challenges to car designers, ballistic experts and
materials technologists in creating innovative solutions that meet various expectations in terms of weight reduction and ballistic hardness. When analyzing the specific advantages and characteristic qualities of ballistic materials, the cost-effectiveness of the project concept is also very important.

Swebor R&D focuses on producing shielding steel that bends and welds better without compromising on shielding performance. Swebor Armor™ is available in seven different grades based on hardness and other properties.

 

Branches of industry

A place for each type of Swebor Armor™
For an optimal balance between weight, shape and protective capability, an armored vehicle (for example) may contain more than one type of protective steel.

A building, like an embassy, may not require special formation, so you can forego more convenient armor in favor of less expensive standard ballistic protection.

Product

Depending on the chemical composition and qualities, armored sheets have high resistance to ballistic penetration, as well as resistance to detonation of explosives. The material is an ideal solution for the manufacture of armored cars, reservation of embassy buildings, banks, shelters, shooting ranges, security doors, cash points. Also, wear-resistant Swebor steel is the best material for manufacturing parts used in the mining industry.
