We rolled out a few product for Honeywell’s Shot Show both 2018 made with their Centurion laminate.
Here is some info about Centurion fabric:
Centurion-made tactical vests can be 35 to 40% lighter because they do not require extra fabric or webbing. The Centurion fabric is laser-cut according to user preference, resulting in slits along the vests from which officers can attach gear as needed. Since straps such as traditional Molle straps do not need be sewn into these vests, they are lighter and more comfortable for officers to wear.
Pound for pound, Spectra is 15 times stronger than steel, yet light enough to float, according to the manufacturer. It is said to have up to 60% greater strength than alternate aramid fibre. Spectra fibre’s strength is designed to enable Centurion-made vests, plates carriers and other products to not only be lighter, but also resistant to cuts, abrasion and water, making them suitable for many tough environments.
Honeywell is expanding its manufacturing capabilities for its Centurion composite material to meet increased demand from the global law enforcement market. Centurion is the latest performance fabric made from Honeywell Spectra fibre, and is designed to make law enforcement apparel and equipment up to 40% lighter. It is available in six colours and designs, providing diverse options for end products that can be made with the fabric.
We are looking at expanding our GRID product line with Centurion and color options they offer. Continue to watch as we make amazing products with these new laminates.
