Silicon Carbide Ceramic: Ultra-hard and compression-resistant, it shatters high-velocity armor-piercing (AP) and incendiary (API) rounds—think 7.62x63mm M2 AP or 7.62x54R API. It soaks up the extreme kinetic energy of these threats, preventing penetration that lesser plates can’t handle.
CH221 HPPE: This high-grade polyethylene outperforms standard UHMWPE—more tensile strength, better impact resistance, and lighter weight. It reinforces the ceramic core while keeping the plate at 2.85kg (lighter than all-steel Level IV options), so you don’t fatigue during 6+ hour missions.
Anti-BFS Material: Acts as a buffer to trap bullet fragments and absorb leftover impact force. No more secondary injuries from shattered projectile pieces or ceramic shards—critical when you need to stay in the fight after a hit.
| Parameter | Specification | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Model No. | DS-4E250300SA | High-end standalone Level IV plate for extreme ballistic threats |
| Material | Silicon Carbide Ceramic + CH221 HPPE + Anti-BFS Material | Triple-layer defense for AP/API rounds; no extra backing needed |
| Dimensions | 250×300mm ±3mm (~10×12 inches) | Covers core torso vitals; fits 95% of standard tactical carriers |
| Ceramic Coverage | 225×275mm | Targeted hard protection for heart/lung area—no weak edge spots |
| Thickness | ≤28mm | Slim enough for tactical outerwear; optimized for Level IV defense |
| Weight | 2.85kg ±0.05kg | Per plate; balances extreme protection with wearable mobility (lighter than all-steel alternatives) |
| Outer Covering | 600D Black Oxford Fabric (Water-Resistant & Flame-Retardant) | Shields core from moisture/dust; resists tears/scratches in tactical use |
| Curvature | Double Curve | Mirrors torso shape; eliminates pressure points during movement |
| Protection Level | NIJ 0101.06 Level IV Stand Alone | Independent defense against top-tier AP/API threats; no extra layers needed |
| Shooting Distance | 15M | Tested at real-world engagement distances (not just lab settings) |
| Bullets Stopped | 7.62x63mm M2 AP; 7.62x54R API | Stops military-grade armor-piercing/incendiary rounds |
| Warranty | 5 Years | Covers material/craft defects; excludes damage from drops, chemicals, or misuse |
NIJ 0101.06 Level IV Stand-Alone: This is the gold standard for personal ballistic defense—no IIIA vest or backing layers required. It outperforms Level III plates by stopping AP/API rounds that would penetrate cheaper gear.
Proven Stopping Power: Rigorously tested at 15 meters (the distance most real-world high-threat engagements happen) to reliably block:
7.62x63mm M2 AP (a heavy-duty military round used in rifles like the M1 Garand)
7.62x54R API (a common incendiary AP round for sniper rifles and machine guns)
Consistent Reliability: The silicon carbide’s uniform density and CH221 HPPE’s stability mean it performs steadily across repeated impacts—no "one-hit failure" when you need it most.
Military Combat Personnel: Ideal for frontline deployments, urban warfare, or counter-insurgency ops where enemy forces use AP rounds.
Tactical Law Enforcement: Perfect for counter-terror teams or high-risk warrant executions—keeps you safe during dynamic, close-quarters raids.
Private Security Details: For protecting high-value individuals (VIPs) in conflict zones like the Middle East or Eastern Europe.
Government Officials/Contractors: Discreet yet powerful defense for work in war-torn or high-violence regions.
