UD Aramid:
Engineered for the Extreme
Unidirectional aramid technology setting new benchmarks in ballistic and stab protection. Moving beyond woven limits.
The Shift to Unidirectional Performance
Moving beyond traditional woven materials, our UD thermoplastic matrices offer superior energy absorption and flexibility without compromising on strength. We re-engineer protection at the molecular level.

Tech Breakdown
Layered Engineering Approach
FMS Uni-Directional Aramid fabrics are engineered for soft armor and hybrid protection solutions where flexibility, stab resistance, and multi-threat performance are critical.
Material Characteristics
- Aramid fiber strength up to 5× steel on an equal-weight basis
- Flexible thermoplastic matrix for controlled energy dispersion
FMS UD Aramid fabrics are also a global benchmark for anti-stab and anti-spike protection, internationally deployed and supplied to numerous police forces and military organizations worldwide.
UD Aramid fabrics are widely used in soft ballistic vests, anti-stab systems, and layered armor packages.
This layered engineering approach allows law enforcement and military personnel to achieve higher protection levels at lower overall system weight.
