Ballistic Plates Incoming

Here are the side plate prices

UHMWPE Level III
Price per Side Plate: 79.99

Aluminum Oxide Ceramic Level III
Price per Side Plate: 64.99

Aluminum Oxide Ceramic Level IV
Price per Side Plate: 69.99

Silicon Carbide Ceramic Level III
Price per Side Plate: 89.99

Silicon Carbide Ceramic Level IV
Price per Side Plate: 109.99
 
What is the purity for the Aluminum Oxide Ceramic plates? I believe the higher purity(85/90/95/99), the harder the plate and higher the price is.
 
If it was possible to ensure common lot numbers amongst plates which are purchased together I would be happy to grab a set and test one for myself at the range. NIJ is great to have, but I'd rather convince myself that the plates do what they're purported to. Interested in the lightest weight plates.

We are not sure but can ask. We haven't heard about the purity, but we would need to know more specifically what you are asking. Are you looking for the chemical composition of the ceramic, or the ratio of different materials within the ceramic?

We will keep an eye out for batch numbers and will try to hold onto a set of three or more plates from the same batch for you if that is possible. We will be testing our samples soon and will post here the footage of those tests for all of you.
 
Looking good so far, I would still like to see the test result for the IV plates

After that and your vids I am am in for :

A pair of Silicon Carbide Ceramic Level IV Shooters Cut and a FAST Ballistic Helmet IIIa to start

That's kind of a ridiculous and pointless question...who cares? If it holds true to the ballistic rating that's all that matters. It's a budget plate, no one cares about "how pure" the aluminum oxide is.

This is what I found from CCGK website using Google translate:
http://www.chinaccgk.cn/product/11.html

Name : Bulletproof alumina ceramic plate
Material:A120+PE
Color: black; other colors can be customized
weight:NIJIII (2.4KG), NIJIV (2.7KG)
size:250*300mm
Protection level:NIJIII, NIJIV
Warranty period: 8 years
Insurance: Ping An Insurance 3 million


product manual:
Alumina ceramics have the highest density, but the hardness is relatively low, the processing threshold is lower, and the price is relatively cheap. According to the purity, it can be divided into 85/90/95/99 alumina ceramics. The higher the label, the higher the purity, the higher the hardness and the price.

You don't care doesn't mean others can not, correct?

It's budget, because it's from China or just the price is cheaper than those US made? If the price is doubled, you start caring?

Thanks fr the link, these guys appear to be pretty legit....

I'm not really sure what you are trying to say there but let me reiterate:

If its level 4, its level 4. The purity of the alumina is irrelevant as long as testing is done to ensure the validity of the certifications.

Once again we will inquire as to the purity for you. Once we hear back we will let you know.

We should be testing our sample plates in about two weeks. We will post the link to the video here once its ready. Also if the plates do sell well initially based on our testing we will endeavor to send the level IV plates for official NIJ testing in the US.
 
We have heard back from the manufacturer, and they do not have the testing report for the level IV plates from an NIJ certified lab. We will be conducting our own testing, and will let you know if they hold up.

I am trying to see which grade of plate AI Tactical Solutions is getting, which I believe would affect the hardness, possibility little bit on weight and price. Cause from the manufacturer's website, it seems the price and hardness would be noticeable for 85 and 99 purity.
