Abstract: A method for making a ballistic material resistant to penetration from bullet, shrapnel, debris, and other lethal missiles that includes dying a flexible conformable low surface energy fabric having a first thickness; coating a surface of the dyed fabric with an acrylic based adhesive; covering the coated fabric with a liner; cutting the coated lined fabric; printing the cut lined fabric with a fast drying acrylic ink forming a ballistic material having a second thickness up to 300% larger than the first thickness which is tough, resistant to bullet penetration from a range of six feet from the fabric; and cutting the ballistic material into a desired shape.

Abstract: A system for making a ballistic material resistant to penetration from bullets, shrapnel, debris, and other lethal missiles, comprising: means for dyeing a flexible conformable low surface energy fabric; a roll coating device for continuously coating a top surface of the dyed fabric with an acrylic based adhesive; an extruder for applying a liner; at least one nip roller for receiving the liner and the coated fabric and applying the liner to the coated fabric; at least one displacement slitter for cutting the coated lined fabric; a fabric printer for printing the cut lined fabric with a fast drying acrylic ink forming a ballistic material up to 300% thicker than the flexible conformable low surface energy fabric; and a continuous cutter for cutting the ballistic material into a desired shape.
