X-Line Coating Adds Protection to Ballistic and Body Armor
HUNTSVILLE, AL – AR500 Armor®, manufacturer of ballistic and body armor, is using PAXCON by LINE-X to deliver elevated protection for its clients. Protective coatings manufacturer LINE-X applies its scientifically advanced compound to all AR500 steel armor plates to help redirect the spall and fragmentation when a round strikes the surface of the plate. These small fragments, if not contained by PAXCON by LINE-X, can cause serious injuries to the person wearing the plate. Phoenix-based AR500 Armor has been spraying its plates with PAXCON by LINE-X since 2013 after extensive testing in labs and on live-fire ranges.
“LINE-X is trusted with helping to protect numerous locations of importance from blasts, including the Pentagon. So when we started looking for a protective coatings manufacturing partner, PAXCON by LINE-X stood out as the most advanced, effective material to help minimize damage in the field,” said Tyler O’Neal, co-founder of AR500 Armor. “We’re proud to use PAXCON by LINE-X on our all of our body armor products and are confident that this collaboration is preventing injury and saving lives for military and law enforcement personnel across the nation and across the globe.”
