Also known as Giganume. Takes the form of a powerful, red, highly explosive energy blast, which is fired from the kaiju Gigan's eye. Splits into smaller explosive blasts upon nearing a target. Gundarium Mobile Suit Gundam: Fictional alloy based on Titanium.
Zetix is a fabric invented by Auxetics Technologies, Ltd., a UK company. Zetix is an auxetic material strong enough to absorb and disperse shockwaves from explosions without breaking. [ 1 ]
Ceramic armor is armor used by armored vehicles and in personal armor to resist projectile penetration through its high hardness and compressive strength. In its most basic form, it consists of two primary components: A ceramic layer on the outer surface, called the "strike face," backed up by a ductile fiber reinforced plastic composite or metal layer.
As a technical fabric, SuperFabric is created with a base fabric such as nylon, polyester, neoprene, crepe, etc. and is overlaid with tiny, hard guard plates in a specific pattern. Spacings between the guard plates allow a degree of flexibility, breathability and are small enough to keep most sharp objects from penetrating.
Ceramic tiles have a multiple hit capability problem in that they cannot sustain successive impacts without quickly losing much of their protective value. [6] To minimise the effects of this the tiles are made as small as possible, but the matrix elements have a minimal practical thickness of about 25 mm (approximately one inch), and the ratio of coverage provided by tiles would become ...
The fabric is composed of very stable polymers that do not react with other substances, and therefore, self-extinguishes when exposed to fire. The fabric does not melt or drip – which ensures that the fabric will not stick to skin and or intensify injury. [2] In addition to being flame resistant, Defender M is also lightweight and breathable.
The fibers are soft and stain-resistant while exhibiting high strength and stiffness. [3] Sorona is a co-polymer of 1,3-propanediol (obtained by fermentation) and petroleum-derived terephthalic acid (TPA) or dimethyl terephthalate (DMT). [3]
