Will frag from our steel body armor fly right through your plate carrier?

When you shoot something, there are three things a bullet can do:

1. It can go through the target (think paper, thin metal, or drywall)
2. It can be ‘absorbed’ by the target (soft body armor, larger trees, or similar)
3. It can be deflected or shattered by the target (steel armor plates, concrete, or rocks)

AR500 Armor revolutionized the steel core armor industry by being first to market with our fragmentation and spall mitigation build-up coat. Since then, we’ve continued to master and refine the process...so much so we consider it an art form, utilizing artisan-level craftsmen in its application.

First, we employ a multistep process to clean and prepare the steel armor cores for both our FragLock base coating and FragLock build-up coat application process.

Then, the craftsmen of the Armored Republic use a long-developed process to apply our FragLock coating to just the right thickness...a thickness our testing has shown to be the best balance of elasticity and durability, about 5x the thickness of our base coat.

After curing, the plates then go through a multi-stage quality control process to ensure the coating has been evenly applied and is free from performance and cosmetic imperfections.

Even with all this, we continually test our current and potential formulas to make sure we bring you the very best frag and spall mitigation coating on the market.

And our testing is clear...AR500 Armor’s FragLock Build-Up Coat is the best level of frag containment for the money. But don’t take our word for it. Watch the videos we're posting all month long.

The results speak for themselves.
