DuPont, Point Blank collaborate on Kevlar EXO™ body armor

DuPont and Point Blank Enterprises (PBE) have announced an exclusive partnership to offer state-of-the-art body armor crafted with Kevlar® EXO™ aramid fiber to North American State and Local Law Enforcement departments.

Kevlar EXO aramid fiber is a groundbreaking innovation, representing the most significant advancement in aramid fiber technology in over 50 years. Developed for applications requiring top-notch performance and protection in intense conditions, Kevlar EXO provides an unprecedented combination of lightweight design, flexibility, and aramid fiber protection.

This new body armor allows law enforcement officers to experience elevated levels of ballistic protection along with mobility and comfort. Kevlar EXO also conforms to body curves, offering a more inclusive solution while ensuring maximum protection. The combination of Kevlar EXO technology and Point Blank’s expertise in body armor design addresses the demand for lightweight protection.

Steven LaGanke, Global Business Leader at DuPont Life Protection, expressed pride in partnering with Point Blank, a leader in law enforcement protection, to create the most comfortable body armor. He mentioned that this innovative body armor meets NIJ standards while providing a flexible and lightweight solution, empowering law enforcement personnel to operate at their best.

Michael Foreman, Executive Vice President of Point Blank Enterprises, highlighted that with the new NIJ certification standard released in November 2023, higher conditioning and protection level requirements are met. Kevlar EXO allows them to offer solutions that exceed these requirements, providing comfort and flexibility unmatched by other options on the market. The new innovation is expected to protect law enforcement officers later this year.
