Scanfiber stands for superior security and our products save lives.

Land ApplicationsIn military operative situations as well as civilian situations on ground, the important aspect is to save the lives of the personnel inside a vehicle or building. This is done by securing the object with ballistic protection in order to break and stop any fragments from hurting or killing the personnel inside the vehicle or building. The highest possible protection is crucial, but also the weight added is of a great matter.

Scanfibers light weight products guarantee optimum protection of personnel and equipment in both military vehicles as well in civilian applications, such as soft skinned and Cash-in-Transit vehicles. Using our light weight protection solutions instead of traditional steel solutions, will reduce wear on the vehicle and fuel consumption, while operational radius, load-carrying capacity, and mobility are kept at level with the vehicles standard properties.

Our BrandsScanfiber has developed a number of brands based on the different materials the products are made of. The brands indicates the ballistic protection level and is therefore divided into the flexible light-weight solutions or the more massive solutions.

ScanguardTM ScantexTM

ScanshockTM ScanblastTM

Customised protective solutions based on solid and rigid materials are branded with the name Scanguard. Examples are:

• Scanguard add-on-armour for armoured vehicles made with a strike face of high grade ceramics or armoured steel• Scanguard panels for protection of buildings against explosion effects.

Customised protective solutions based on flexible soft materials such as aramide or fibre glass fabrics are branded with Scantex. Exam-ples are:

• Scantex bomb blankets made with aramide fabrics• Scantex enhanced spall liners used for effective cone reduction in the case of an over match threat.

Scanfiber has developed a flexible protection system based on a flexible Scantex layer with a shock absorbing and damping material that enhance the survivability of vehicle crew mem-bers if subjected to a shock wave from e.g. an improvised explosive device. The protective system is branded Scanshock. Examples are:

• Scanshock floor protection for infantry fighting vehicles

Scanfiber has developed a protection system that protects against kinetic energy and blast threats from explosions. The system can be used to create a stand-alone protective wall or integrated in buildings for enhanced protection against bomb attacks.
