Sintx announces Utah armor facility for advanced ceramics complete

SINTX Technologies announces that equipment installation along with key renovations and upgrades to its SINTX Armor facility in Salt Lake City are now complete. This milestone is the result of an intensive effort by the SINTX team to upgrade the facility’s infrastructure and install armor manufacturing equipment that was acquired from Ohio-based B4C LLC. SINTX Armor is a 10,000 square-foot facility that can manufacture high-performance ceramic armor plates for personnel, aircraft, and vehicles. Products include 100% boron carbide or BoroShock, which is a high-strength material designed to protect special forces against high-velocity projectiles. Another product, DuraShockTM, is a composite of boron carbide and silicon carbide that is designed to protect law enforcement personnel. "SINTX Armor reiterates our commitment toward meeting the global demand for protective ceramic armor," said Dr. Sonny Bal, CEO of SINTX. "Our expertise in advanced ceramics has positioned us as a leader and innovator in the protective armor industry well into the future."
