Front42 Ballistic Plate, NIJ IV Stand Alone (SA)

Front42 NIJ Level IV Ballistic Plate – Ultimate Stand Alone Armor-Piercing Protection

When the mission involves the highest degree of ballistic threat, the Front42 NIJ Level IV Stand-Alone (SA) plate is the definitive choice for elite operators. Proudly manufactured in Estonia, this plate is engineered using premium European-origin materials to stop high-velocity, armor-piercing rifle rounds that would penetrate standard body armor.

Maximum Ballistic Defense (Level IV)

The Front42 NIJ IV plate is designed for extreme combat conditions where the threat of specialized armor-piercing (AP) ammunition is present. It has been rigorously tested in independent European laboratories to meet and exceed the most stringent international standards.

• Armor-Piercing Protection: Certified to defeat the devastating .30-06 M2 AP (Armor Piercing) projectile (166 gr) at a velocity of 878±9 m/s.
• Stand-Alone (SA) Capability: Engineered to provide full ballistic protection without the need for additional soft armor backing, streamlining your loadout for maximum mobility.

Advanced Hybrid Construction

By combining the hardness of European Alumina Ceramic with the energy dispersion of UHMWPE, Front42 delivers a plate that is as durable as it is effective.

• Ceramic & Composite Core: Built from Alumina Oxide (Al₂O₃) ceramic bonded with a UHMWPE compositeto shatter and trap high-energy projectiles.
• Ergonomic Multi-Curve Design: Unlike flat or single-curve plates, our multi-curve geometry follows the natural contours of the human torso. This significantly improves comfort, reduces fatigue during prolonged missions, and ensures a superior fit.
• Environmental Resilience: The plate maintains its full ballistic properties across varying altitudes and extreme temperature ranges. It is encased in a waterproof and oil-resistant Polyamide (Nylon) cover to protect the core from moisture, dirt, and mechanical abrasion.
