WINNING DESIGN OF CERADYNE’S ENHANCED COMBAT HELMET (ECH) FEATURES HIGH BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE OF DSM DYNEEMA’S HB80 UNIDIRECTIONAL (UD) COMPOSITE
STANLEY, N.C. – March 15, 2012 - DSM Dyneema today announced that its Dyneema® HB80 unidirectional (UD) composite – one of the highest ballistic performance UD materials on the market today – played a critical role in Ceradyne Inc.’s successful development of the new Enhanced Combat Helmet (ECH) for the United States Marine Corps and Army. Ceradyne chose Dyneema® HB80 to provide the highest level of ballistic protection for the ECH. Compared to the existing Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) which is made with aramid fibers, the new ECH with Dyneema® HB80 provides protection and exceeds the ECH program requirement for better fragmentation performance than ACH, all without increasing helmet weight. HB80 is also the only material that passes the stringent ECH testing.
