• Boron Carbide/Silicon Carbide ceramic hybrid – best combination of high ballistic performance and low areal density due to Boron Carbide component
• Low cost owing to high percentage of Silicon Carbide
• Improved impact behaviour
• Lightweight for ballistic protection applications where pure Silicon Carbide is too heavy
• Unique microstructure with aggregated SiC provides toughening by crack deflection
• Consolidation by pressureless sintering – economical process with ability to form complex shapes
• Further densification possible without changing the material characteristics
• Superior performance vs. all other tested hybrids
• Only surpassed by HP Boron Carbide
• Can potentially protect against WC cored threats
