UHMWPE · BALLISTIC COMPOSITES

Engineered protection. Honest performance.

At our plant in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, we produce cross-plied unidirectional UHMWPE composites for soft and hard armor. All material is supplied as continuous roll goods, cut to your process.

The company

Material, not marketing.

Two product families, one process discipline. Every roll leaves our factory with a quality certificate of analysis and a traceability matrix with a lot number, a fiber batch, a resin batch.

KN Advanced Composites works alongside armor manufacturers across the full engineering path — from material selection through layup architecture to consolidation parameters. Final ballistic performance, however, is shaped by your design and confirmed through your own testing and qualification.

About

At a glance

Two product families

UHMWPE soft armor UD and UHMWPE hard armor UD.

Traceable by lot

Product code and roll number printed on the material. Lot, fiber batch and resin batch recorded for every roll.

Continuous roll goods

Supplied on 75 mm cores at widths from 160 cm, in lengths matched to the customer's cutting and layup process.

Engineering support

Material selection, layup architecture and consolidation guidance for each plate or panel design.

Products

The material behind the protection.

Both families are built from high-strength, high-modulus UHMWPE fiber pre-impregnated in a resin matrix and cross-plied in a 0°/90° orientation.
