S M Carapace Armor is the first to set up an advanced ceramic armor manufacturing facility in India.  Our manufacturing facilities are modern and highly consistent in performance and the personnel manning them are the best in their field. We employ highly innovative, unique and state-of-the-art technologies to ensure that our products meet International Quality Standards; both in terms of manufacturing processes as well as the actual vis-à-vis stated performance.
CaraSTOP is the most advanced system to provide protection against deadly bullets like the Armor Piercing rounds. It offers you a choice of high performing ceramic materials that meet all your varied protection requirements:
  • CaraSTOP Alumina: A traditional ceramic material used in a number of applications
    • Thickness, shapes and sizes can be easily customized
  • CaraSTOP Silicon Carbide: A ceramic which offers better performance due to lower weight and superior hardness
    • Weighs less than half of most metal alloys, 40 percent as much as steel
    • Superior hardness for combating advanced threats
    • Lower weight with higher performance benefits
  • CaraSTOP Boron Carbide: A wonder material, with lowest density, and ultra light weight
    • Hardness: Par excellence: being the third hardest material known to man.
    • Eminently suitable for applications where weight is of prime consideration eg. vehicle, aircraft etc.
    • Less weight can translate into increased protection area with the same payload capacity.
