Thanks to the flexible and advanced fiber composites, Scanfiber's products have a wide range of applications, including in military and law enforcement, civil businesses, and humanitarian organizations.

​

Scanfiber's lightweight armour is used in vehicles, ships, and aircraft, where only a minimal amount of extra weight is allowed. This ensures that higher load capacity, maneuverability, acceleration, and a higher level of protection are maintained within the specified weight limitations of the vehicle. Wear and maintenance costs are reduced, and it is often possible to reduce the weight of the armour by up to one-third compared to the weight required by steel.​

The principle behind fiber composites used as armour is a dense weave of extremely strong and durable fibers, which are bonded together in a special heating process. During this process, the strong fibers and matrix (adhesive) are pressed tightly together, transforming it into a lightweight panel. Due to the damping effect of the interconnected fibers and the high level of impact force they can absorb, this transformation provides excellent protection against projectiles and fragments. Depending on the ballistic protection level, the composite panels can either be used alone or combined with a surface made from ceramic or ballistic steel. This results in a very high level of protection and a surface that crushes or dulls the incoming projectile, which is then stopped more effectively by the underlying composite panel.
