  • Publication number: 20260309470
    Abstract: Protective ballistic barrier, comprising a support base, for example in concrete; a distribution of upright elements stably fixed and emerging from the base and aligned along at least one side of an area to be protected; a plurality of resistant ballistic modules applicable one above the other along pairs of adjacent uprights to form at least one resistant wall to protect the area, wherein the resistant modules are removable and replaceable individually, and are partially overlapped with complete horizontal coverage of the wall defining each with the adjacent modules a free interspace for the passage of air; a distribution of resistant ballistic elements fixed to cover the uprights on the outer side of the wall exposed to attacks.

  • Publication number: 20240326377
    Abstract: Method for producing a composite resistant material (5), comprising the following steps: preparing at least two component bodies (13, 14, 15, 16) consisting of a material selected from fibre materials such as carbon fibre, aramid fibres, metallic or non-metallic inorganic fibres, ceramic materials such as alumina, boron or silicon carbide, metallic materials such as aluminium, brass, lead, steel, plastic materials such as polyamide, cleaning the outer coupling surface of said bodies (13, 14, 15, 16) preparing at least two adjacent bodies with a free gap (11), coating the clean surface of said bodies (13, 14, 15, 16) with an adhesive; drying said bodies (13, 14, 15, 16); pre-heating said bodies (13, 14, 15, 16) until the reduction of the surface viscosity of said adhesive; coupling said bodies (13, 14, 15, 16) with a thermosetting polymer until filling said gap (11); hardening the polymer and complete activation of the bond of said adhesive with said polymer.
