DuroProtect® 1000
GFK-UP
DuroProtect® 1000 is a fiberglass-reinforced composite manufactured to serve as a ballistic protection material. Constructed from layered, reinforced structural polyester laminate, DuroProtect® 1000 panels are designed for high-performance defense, engineered to progressively delaminate upon impact, distorting and flatt ening incoming projectiles while dispersing their energy to reduce penetration.
DuroProtect® 1000 can be added to virtually any new build, or retrofi t to most existing structures for a critical layer of protection. Whether for commercial, residential, or military applications, DuroProtect® 1000 delivers protection that safeguards what matt ers most from ballistic threats.
