Norafin serves industrial markets offering high-quality, custom engineered spunlaced and needle pun-
ched materials targeting a wide range of market segments including law enforcement, police, military
or private sector. Norafin’s technical nonwovens used as ballistic material offer important product fea-
tures answering the market’s requirements for safety, durability and lightweight constructions.
Tests according to STANAG 2920 have shown excellent performance of Norafin Komanda® material
against 1,1g fragment. The correlation between protection (V50) and weight of the ballistic panel is
demonstrated in the graph below. Compared to existing ballistic solutions in the market (fabrics), V50 is
significantly increased by using Norafin Komanda® for fragment applications.

The stability and durability of Norafin Komanda® after the impact is visible in the pictures below.
Strikeface: During the shooting the nonwoven is catching the fragments efficiently due to the
high strength in combination with high flexibility and density.
Bodyside: The fragment is stopped in the middle of the ballistic panel.
The Martindale-Method simulates natural wear, where the textile sample is rubbed against a standard ab-
rasive surface with a specified force. The results of more than 200.000 cycles for Norafin Komanda® with
Dyneema® show good mechanical stability and high strength of the nonwoven product during the life-
cycle in a ballistic vest.
