Ballistic Resistance

Ballistic resistance refers to a material's ability to withstand impacts from projectiles like bullets or shrapnel without breaking or failing. It measures how effectively a protective item, such as a bulletproof vest or shield, can stop or slow down bullets to prevent penetration and injury. This resistance is tested under standardized conditions, and materials are rated according to the level of protection they provide. Essentially, ballistic resistance indicates how well a material can absorb and dissipate the energy of fast-moving objects to keep people safe.
