First Choice Armor Presents Its Newest Innovative Product:N-Force(TM) Ballistic Vest Series SPINDALE, NC | Posted on September 3rd, 2008
Nano-Repel(R) is utilized exclusively in this new vest series,N-Force(TM) from First Choice Armor. "It's in the fabric" is agreat way to describe the unique characteristics of thispatent-pending Nano-Repel(R). This fabric-coating technology,Nano-Repel(R) uses hydrocarbon chains that are created during theimpregnation process to form a fortification matrix around theballistic material microscopically. This technology incorporates aphase change mechanism that enhances its energy absorptionproperties and allows the energy of a projectile (bullet) todissipate over greater area of the ballistic (vest) panel.Independent testing reveals significantly decreased trauma and backface signature readings, exceptional resistance to environmentalconditioning, and higher V-50 results.

"FCA focuses on building products and services that offer distinctvalue -- and set us apart from the pack," states Daniel Walsh,president of First Choice Armor. "N-Force(TM) is just anotherexample of FCA's unique, functional product offering for the lawenforcement and security forces community."
