DuPont acquires Core Matrix Technology Globally patented technology will add to DuPont’s Life Protection Solutions portfolio. 4th March 2021 DuPont has acquired Tex Tech’s Core Matrix Technology, a monolithic protective fabric structure that is used in the most advanced ballistic vests worn by military and law enforcement. The fabric can significantly reduce blunt face trauma – injuries under the skin – while increasing ballistic and fragmentation performance. It is also said to increase the comfort of wearing bullet-resistant body armour. As such, it is a perfect fit with DuPont’s Kevlar and Nomex-based portfolio of life protection solutions, enabling the most flexible, lightweight ballistic solutions to meet new National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standards for enhanced durability in the USA.
