This technological advancement has helped the company in the de- sign and production of light weight personal protection armour that enables the users, largely soldiers and law enforcers, to carry with them more ammunition and ration and other mission critical equip- ment, and combat better with unrestricted movement, flexibility, and comfort. Body armour built with Ammoflex-6 and Polyshield-6 equips the forces with better multi-hit protection at lowest possible weights.
