TenCate Advanced Armour and DSM Dyneema are working more closely together for launching innovative products and bringing personnel armour solutions to the international defence and law enforcement markets.

TenCate will showcase its TenCate Multi-light insert portfolio using Dyneema Force Multiplier Technology products at the Milipol 2013 exhibition, held from 19-22 November in Paris.

New standard

TenCate and DSM have a long history in the joint development of materials for armour solutions for personal and vehicle protection.

Steen Tanderup, Managing Director of TenCate Advanced Armour explained: “Current focus is on further reducing weight, increasing comfort and developing cost efficient solutions. TenCate Advanced Armour manages to combine those customer demands while increasing the level of protection. Our cooperation with DSM is constructive and productive and the Dyneema Force Multiplier Technology is a part of the innovation of the advanced armour solutions of TenCate.”

“We intend to set a new standard for ballistic armour protection in both personal protection applications like vests, inserts, helmets, soft armour applications, and for vehicle armour. But also for next-generation tactical gear that will be engineered around the future soldier programs. The application of the Dyneema Force Multiplier Technology is an important part of this process.”

TenCate Advanced Armour

The company is one of the selected launch partners of DSM for using the Dyneema Force Multiplier Technology in its TenCate Multi-light insert portfolio and vehicle armour solutions, and will jointly market these materials in defence and law enforcement markets globally.

With facilities based in Europe, Asia and North America, TenCate Advanced Armour is a leading supplier of a wide range of armour composite materials for ballistic protection.

The company develops and produces a portfolio of composite and ceramic materials and designs active armour solutions for the protection of police, army, air force, navy and civilian service personnel, vehicles and vessels.
