Abstract: An optically detectable antiballistic plate, and a method of producing it are disclosed. The antiballistic plate includes a core of a ceramic plate, coated with a transparent fibre-reinforced surface composite layer of plastic matrix and reinforcement fibre. Cracks visible to the human eye in daylight will occur, in the event of damage to the ceramic plate.

Abstract: A method for forming an antiballistic panel includes selecting a largest ceramic plate, i.e. one with a widest circumference, from a batch of ceramic plates; forming a number of transparent rear covers with the shape of said largest ceramic plate; forming a batch of antiballistic panels each based on a single ceramic plate, wherein each antiballistic panel is vacuum baked from the following: a fibre reinforced composite layer which at least covers a front face of the ceramic plate; a trauma reducing fibre reinforced composite layer on a rear face of the ceramic plate; a binder cloth on the trauma reducing composite layer's rear face; an expanding, gluing foam on said binder cloth; mounting a transparent back cover onto the gluing foam to cover an entire circumference of the vacuum baked antiballistic panels; compression of the antiballistic panel now including the rear cover; and hardening of the foam.
