MOLLIS® Soft-armour protection systems

MOLLIS® soft armour is based on ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), one of the highest-performing fibre technologies used in modern protection systems.

Manufacture of a multi-layer MOLLIS soft-armour insert
UHMWPE · Flexible · Water-protected

The unidirectionally aligned fibre layers deliver efficient energy absorption while maintaining low weight and high flexibility.

Key benefits include:

  • Low weight
  • High flexibility
  • High wearer comfort
  • High load capacity
  • Corrosion-free
  • Durable and low-maintenance

Protection for a wide range of applications

Each protection package is manufactured to the specific requirements.

Dimensions, shape and protection level can be tailored to each project.

Typical applications include:

  • Body-worn protection systems
  • Flexible protective inserts
  • Portable protective blankets
  • Mobile protection solutions
  • Bespoke applications

Protected against environmental exposure

The ballistic inserts are sealed inside a robust, waterproof protective cover.

This reliably protects the high-performance fibres against:

  • Water
  • Moisture
  • Oil
  • Dirt
  • other environmental factors

This supports a long service life and consistently high material quality.

Custom manufacturing to customer requirements

Every application has different requirements for dimensions, weight and protection performance.

Altena Engineering therefore manufactures soft-armour solutions to customer specifications and supports the development of bespoke protection systems.
