  • Body Armor Supply Chain — The Complete ArmorOS Guide

    The body-armor industry rests on a thin, globally consolidated supply chain — a handful of fiber producers (DuPont Kevlar, Avient Dyneema, Honeywell Spectra), ceramic suppliers (Morgan, CoorsTek), and prepreg makers. This guide maps the upstream supply chain that determines what every OEM can actually build.

  • Domestic vs Imported Fiber Sourcing — Practical Procurement Strategy

  • UHMWPE Fibers — Dyneema vs Spectra in Body Armor

    UHMWPE (Dyneema, Spectra) has displaced aramid in many body-armor applications since the 2000s. This guide covers how the fiber works, why Avient and Honeywell dominate supply, and the grades that matter (SK78, SK99, Force Multiplier, Spectra Shield).
