Have you heard of bulletproof vests? Keep reading and discover the world of ballistic fabrics.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u00bfHow do bulletproof vests work in Colombia?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Para nadie es un secreto que la funci\u00f3n principal de los chalecos antibalas es atrapar la bala y dispersar su energ\u00eda, sin embargo, muy pocos conocen <a href=\"https:\/\/textilesomnes.com\/en\/tela-para-chalecos-antibalas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">los tejidos textiles<\/a> que hacen que esta prenda sea tan valiosa para la seguridad personal. Es por esto que, es importante que sepas que los chalecos antibalas est\u00e1n dise\u00f1ados con m\u00faltiples capas de fibra de aramida, material que brinda resistencia al calor y que a su vez, se caracteriza por ser 5 veces m\u00e1s resistente que el acero.<\/p>\n<p>When a bullet impact is generated in the vest, all the fibers of the material generate tension and trap the bullet, which causes the projectile to deform upon contact with said fibers, and therefore, speed and energy are reduced. However, although in some cases the bullet can penetrate one or more layers of the vest, the fibers of these are so resistant that they fulfill the function of reducing its energy, which prevents serious injuries.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed mismo, no podemos dejar de lado que este tipo de armaduras de protecci\u00f3n los rige la norma (NIJ) en Estados Unidos que establece el <a href=\"https:\/\/textilesomnes.com\/en\/blindaje-niveles-de-proteccion-balistica-en-colombia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grado de protecci\u00f3n de las armaduras corporales<\/a>, es por esto que, a continuaci\u00f3n, te mostraremos c\u00f3mo funcionan los chalecos antibalas en Colombia:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>NIJ IIA level:<\/strong> This is the first level of protection for those ballistic vests that stop impacts from 9 mm metal-coated round nose bullets weighing 124 grams, covering speeds of up to 363 m\/s. Without leaving aside the protection against FMJ bullets of the .40 S&amp;W caliber whose speed is equal to or less than 350 m\/s.<\/li>\n<li><strong>NIJ II level: <\/strong>This second level guarantees a degree of protection equal to the NIJ IIA level and is also effective against 158 \u200b\u200bgram 357 Magnum JSP bullets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>NIJ III A level: <\/strong>This level is characterized by withstanding impacts from the .357 SIG caliber with FMJ tip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>NIJ III level: <\/strong>para este nivel el chaleco antibalas est\u00e1 compuesto por una <a href=\"https:\/\/textilesomnes.com\/en\/placas-balisticas-en-chalecos-antibalas-que-son-y-como-estan-fabricadas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">placa bal\u00edstica<\/a> fabricada en metal duro y panel blando dise\u00f1ado en kevlar, polietileno o materiales cer\u00e1micos. Este tipo de chalecos brindan protecci\u00f3n contra balas FMJ de calibre 7,62 mm de 147 gramos que viajan a una velocidad de 878 m\/s.<\/li>\n<li><strong>NIJ IV level: <\/strong>Bulletproof vests that belong to level IV are those that provide greater protection, since they are effective against 7.62 mm caliber AP bullets with 166 gram tips at a speed of 878 m\/s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"boton-blog-contactanos\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/en\/contacto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u00bfWhat material are bulletproof vests made of?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>La fibra de aramida es la fibra sint\u00e9tica que se usa con mayor frecuencia, pues este tipo de tejido textil est\u00e1 compuesto a base de mol\u00e9culas largas y delgadas que son fuertes y resistentes al calor, raz\u00f3n por la cual, brinda <a href=\"https:\/\/textilesomnes.com\/en\/proteccion-tela-chalecos-antibalas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">protecci\u00f3n y soporta temperaturas extremas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Types of bulletproof vests<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Did you know that bulletproof vests not only provide protection but that there are also different types?<strong>\u00a0 <\/strong>Below we will show you the two types of bulletproof vests that exist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Soft bulletproof vests: <\/strong>These types of vests are characterized not only by being comfortable, since they offer excellent ergonomics, but they are also designed with resistant fibers such as polyester, nylon, aramid or polypropylene.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hard bulletproof vests: <\/strong>This type of vest is characterized by having thicker textile fabrics than soft fabric vests, as these have rigid ceramic or metal ballistic plates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, we must not leave aside that just as there are levels of protection, there are also types of bulletproof vests according to their usability, an example of this is bulletproof vests for police, military use and civil use.
