Citterio introduces BMP
an innovative UHMWPE structure designed to deliver high ballistic performance while ensuring enhanced flexibility (Patent Application Pending).
January 2024
Citterio launches BM7
a lightweight UHMWPE solution (65 g/m²) that offers outstanding fragment resistance combined with excellent flexibility.
September 2023
Citterio launches Black230
which is a new black patented prepreg ballistic finishing fabric – solvent free – suitable to easily finish UHMWPE based rigid structures (as inserts, panels, shields, helmets, inserts) drastically reducing finishing time and providing effective adhesion to many types of UHMWPE UDs and paints.
Black230 is innovative, lighter than polyurethane and provides also ballistic properties, so there is no parasitic weight on the solution which results in being lighter and with a higher protection performance.
September 2023
Citterio introduces the HTG22 and HTG22S
a patented UHMWPE family engineered for high performance and rapid, efficient vacuum processing. HTG22 structures stand out from traditional UD structures by drastically reducing production costs (molds, equipment, labor), simplifying the manufacturing process, and enabling efficient molding of complex shapes.
