The Process Through Which Safeguard Clothing Are Made

By Frank Patterson


We commonly refer to them as bullet proof attire. They are mostly used by officers of the law when they find themselves in a cross fire or any other dangerous situation.We all know what safeguard clothing is. However, civilians are also allowed to have them. This is because you are never totally assured of your safety because of the existence of police officers.

The basic material can either be Kevlar or Dyneema. From any one of these two materials, manufacturers can be able to make a strong yet light fiber vest suited to be bullet proof thus becoming relevant. With the Dyneema, it is formed through the gel spinning process which results in it forming a strong yet soft material. Kevlar involves the spinning of a solid thread from a liquid chemical blend.

The material is then woven into yarn and cords. Yarn is a strong and continuous fiber that is used to form fabrics. The material is made into the many different colors we know bullet proof attire to be. For a civilian, this gives them a wide range of option and for the authorities, they can get to pick a color that is similar to their uniform.

A sheet material is formed as the yarn are woven further. These materials appear like normal fabric material which you would take to a tailor for them to make clothing for you. This material is then taken to the protection clothing making companies where the process of making bullet proof clothes can now begin.

Even though it looks good enough for a tailor to use, it is not to be cut with scissors. In these factories there are machines made especially for the purpose of creating cutting up this material. The front and the back of the vest may be of different sizes but the machines are designed to be able to cut the appropriate sizes and for different sizes of the vest.

The cut up material is assembled in a way to form ballistic panels. A number of the cut up materials are placed on top of each other until the thickness required is accomplished. Layers of Kevlar are stitched together in order to form these panels. Different vests have different thicknesses depending on who they are made for.

After the assembling of the material, there needs to be a protective cover. This is like your phone having a screen protector to prevent it from breaking. The cover can be heat sealed as a way of protecting the ballistic material inside. This is mainly from humidity and water. The cover is what makes the vest have its bullet proof qualities.

The flying cover carrier has pockets in which ballistic panels are implanted. The pockets may actually be improved in the carrier. The pockets are also able to hold the ballistics in position in the body of the person wearing it. That is basically how bullet proofs are made.
