Amendment II Release RynoHide, The World's First Carbon NanotubeArmor for Bulletproof Vests (w/video) ( Nanowerk News ) RynoHide™, the world's first Carbon Nanotube compound forballistic and shrapnel resistant products is now available to thepersonal protection equipment industry and the general public. Onthe cutting edge of scientific innovation, RynoHide is lighter thanany other compound on the market, yet provide greater userprotection from back-face deformation of projectiles. Designed tomeet the needs of all military and law enforcement operations,RynoHide is also affordable for public consumers. Watch RynoHide, Amendment II's nano-enhanced soft armor, as ittakes a round against ballistic clay. In 2011, Amendment II partnered with the University of Utah's NanoInstitute in order to develop the implementation of carbonnanotubes (CNT's) into body armor applications. The result wasRynoHide, an unprecedented lightweight and flexible ballisticcompound. Nanotechnology begins at the molecular level. A single carbonnanotube is 1:100,000 the thickness of a sheet of newspaper andfive times stronger than steel. RynoHide harnesses the power ofcarbon nanotechnology in conjunction with traditional soft bodyarmor components. RynoHide makes flexible armor stronger. Traditional armor is designed to stop projectiles moving thousandsof feet per second from penetration and back-face deformation.Back-face deformation is the bulge that occurs in the back of thearmor from a projectile hitting the front without passingcompletely though. Traditional armor is designed to minimize thesethreats by using 20 to 30 layers of a high tensile strengthsynthetic aramid, such as Kevlar. The acceptable back-face deformation limit for body armor, as setby the National Institute of Justice, is 44mm, or nearly twoinches. RynoHide helps body armor achieve a back-face deformationlevel in the low 30's, without increasing the weight of the armor. Less back-face deformation means less hurt on the body. "That's a huge advantage for the user of the armor if they gethit," says R.G. Craig, President of Amendment II. "It could be thedifference between a stay in the hospital or simply going home atthe end of the day to your family." Such protection is achievedwithout compromise in comfort and convenience. Amendment II is the exclusive developer of CNT enchanted protectivebody armor. This innovative approach to ballistic resistantcompound production is accomplished through an intricate and highlytechnical manufacturing process. CNT's are applied to RynoHideelements at the thread level. Nanotechnology has been used in otherindustries such as computer research, and telecommunications, butnothing like this has ever taken place in the protective armorfield. RynoHide has already been used successfully as a compound oflightweight armor systems, military and law enforcement uniforms,vehicle armor, and in structural applications. The potential usagethat RynoHide has to offer in many more applications is extensive.
