Ivoryguard Armorfoam
Ivoryguard™ Armorfoam is a revolutionary foam engineered for high performance as a universal armor material. By hybridizing Adept’s advanced Ivoryguard™ foam technology with high-strength ballistic fibers within a robust polyurethane matrix, this innovative composite foam sets new standards for lightweight, flexible protection. At just 0.2 gm/cc density and an 11mm thickness, it provides:
Ballistic Protection:
Despite being a lightweight foam pad, Armorfoam meets NIJ Level II ballistic standards, reliably stopping the majority of handgun threats encountered in law enforcement and military service.
Fragment Protection:
Exceptional defense against shrapnel, with a 17-grain Fragment Simulating Projectile (FSP) V50 rating exceeding 950 ft/s.
Edged Weapon & Spike Resistance:
Armorfoam offers strong protection from knives, spikes, slashes, and needles. It’s currently undergoing certification testing for Knife-1/Spike-1 compliance.
Blunt Impact Absorption:
Ivoryguard Armorfoam excels at dissipating blunt-force trauma. Its energy-absorbing core dramatically reduces transmitted shock from impacts or ballistic strikes, enhancing wearer safety far beyond typical ballistic threat mitigation.
Durable Multi-Hit Capability:
The hybridized foam structure retains integrity and protective performance even after multiple impacts, providing sustained protection throughout extended engagements or repeated impacts.
Exceptional Flexibility and Comfort:
With its slim, flexible 11mm profile, Armorfoam conforms naturally to the body, providing ergonomic comfort without limiting mobility. Its lightweight cushioning significantly reduces wearer fatigue, ensuring prolonged comfort and operational readiness.
Inherent Flotation Capability:
Due to its ultra-low density closed-cell foam structure, Ivoryguard Armorfoam inherently provides meaningful buoyancy. A typical panel configuration offers substantial flotation support, enabling armor systems to serve dual purposes in maritime or amphibious operations — offsetting equipment weight and significantly improving survivability in waterborne scenarios.
Ivoryguard Armorfoam represents more than an advancement — it is a paradigm shift in applied foam technology, creating an entirely new class of multifunctional, energy-absorbing materials ideal for comprehensive threat protection in any operational environment.
