TenCate Liba® provides users with outstanding protection against armour-piercing ammunition as well as a superior multi-hit protection capability against a large number of projectiles.

If a projectile or shrapnel damages the armour, TenCate Liba® can quickly and easily be repaired by removing and replacing the damaged ceramic pellets. Repairs can be done using basic tools such as a knife, screwdriver or hammer, together with glue to secure the replacement ceramic pellets.

These armour plates meet international standards and requirements that include VPAM BRV 2009, NATO STANAG 4569 and AEP55. They are designed to provide level I to level V protection – and even higher - in accordance with NATO STANAG 4569.

TenCate Liba® is based on ceramic pellets embedded in an elastic polymer matrix. When a projectile impacts the armour, the ceramic pellets isolate the energy from the impact. As a result, only the impacted pellets will be damaged while the surrounding area remains intact. At the same time, the unique, specially designed ceramic pellets prevent the projectile from penetrating the armour.
