RAFAEL has developed a unique cost-effective technology for manufacturing boron carbide products for
ballistic protection, offering high performance, lightweight, multi-hit capability properties.
Boron carbide combines high ballistic efficiency with high mass efficiency, and therefore suits all applications in
which a low weight, high ballistic protection is required. (Personal body armor, armor for helicopters, airplanes,
vehicles, military posts etc).
RAFAEL's patented technology is based on pressure less sintering. This process provides lower production
costs (low than hot press technology), thus offering a combination of high performance, light weight, flexibility
in shape, design and low cost.
RAFAEL's infrastructure, with its high in-house production capacity is able to supply bare ceramic products in
large quantities.
RAFAEL can supply the boron carbide products in various shapes: Flat tiles, multi-curve tiles, hexagonal tiles
of various sizes and others.
RAFAEL's boron carbide products provide NIJ level IV protection and withstand all requirements of E-SAPI.
