What is Quardian 500?

Quardian 500 is a ballistic protection steel plate manufactured through advanced quenching and tempering processes. It balances penetration resistance, weldability, and weight optimization—making it ideal for designing protective structures that meet safety without compromising mobility.

Key Features:

  • Hardness: 500 HBW ±25
  • Multi-hit ballistic resistance for armor-piercing threats
  • Uniform surface quality & tight tolerances
  • Good bending and machining characteristics

Applications of Quardian 500 Plate

Quardian 500 is the material of choice for ballistic, anti-blast, and high-threat environments:

  1. Military vehicles (light & medium armored)
  2. Naval and coast guard vessels
  3. Armored personnel carriers (APCs)
  4. Security booths & guard cabins
  5. Safe rooms, panic shelters & bunkers
  6. Bulletproof wall panels and containers
