GILLIAM TECHNICAL SERVICES - EMERALD ISLE, NC - UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. GTS now manufactures all standard, edge-to-edge, expanded and FLEX armor in our facility located in Emerald Isle, North Carolina. Every plate we build and sell is equipped with.

Vacuum bagging for a consistent adhesive layer thickness. High-tech, super strong but elastic adhesives between the tile and between the ceramic and the polyethylene backing material. Thermoplastic aramid and / or UHMWPE strike face treatments that arrest ceramic cracking and reduce ceramic fragments (built in, highly effective spall control).

We don't just control ceramic "spall" or fragments - we utilize ceramic crack arresting technology within our plate design and contstruction. Transparency about our product and build techniques, quality, reliability and performance unrivaled at this price point. High-performance, comfortable - the best value on the internet for an American-made item.

We use 99%+ pure alumina ceramic for increased hardness and temperature resistance. Most American "famous" plates at this price point are monolithic, 90% alumina plates. We apply American-made industrial adhesives between our ceramic tiles to bond them for increased multi-hit resistance. Superior mosaic ceramic configuration (as opposed to monolithic) allows for multi-hits without performance deterioration of surrounding ceramics. Price is for a single plate.
