designed for personal defense wear typically combines ceramic material, in this case silicon carbide (SiC), and polyethylene (PE) to create a protective plate designed to provide protection against various ballistic threats. Such plates are often used in conjunction with a compatible vest or carrier to create a complete ballistic protection system for individuals, including military personnel, law enforcement officers, or civilians seeking personal protection.

ballistic plate It's important to note that the specific level of ballistic protection provided by a SiC+PE plate can vary depending on the design, thickness, and the intended use. Ballistic plates are typically rated according to recognized standards like those set by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) or other international standards, so it's important to verify the plate's specific protection level when considering its use for personal defense.
