Vests Must Work With armed services personnel,
emergency responders, law enforce- ment officers, and others exposed to more and more perilous circum- stances, reliable body armor is ab- solutely essential for their per- sonal safety. That’s just one of the reasons why more than 30 leading manufacturers use Sono - bond’s ultrasonic technology to assemble their ballistic vests. “Instead of needles, thread
or glue, our equipment uses ul- trasonic energy to create strong molecular bonds, resulting in durable, perfectly sealed seams without stitch holes, glue gaps, fraying or unraveling,” explains Sonobond Vice President Melissa Alleman. “Sealed seams mean better protection for the bullet- proof materials contained in the vest — such as Spectra-Shield® and Kevlar® — ensuring that they are less likely to lose their life-saving effectiveness by being exposed to moisture. They also achieve compliance with Nation- al Institute of Justice (NIJ) wet- conditioning standards (NIJ- 0101.06) requiring body armor to be waterproof, even after submersion for 30 minutes.”
Directed Ultrasonics
The ultrasonic energy — directed in- to woven or nonwoven synthetic ma- terials or blends with up to 40 per- cent natural fibers —results in a rap- id heat buildup that causes the syn- thetic fibers to soften and fuse, creat- ing the strong molecular bond. Sonobond’s SeamMaster®
manufacturers have increased pro- duction output by as much as 25 per- cent since switching from sewing and adhesives machines to ultrasonic bonding technology. The SeamMaster operates very
much like a traditional sewing ma- chine, so only a minimal amount of

for body armor assembly is Sono - bond’s Ultrasonic PlungeBonder™. It is excellent for attaching coated syn- thetic straps within the seam of a ballistic vest’s outer shell without compromising its integrity, again en- suring the vest’s ability to satisfy NIJ submersion standards. The ma- chine can easily attach straps at a rate of five vests per minute. Contact: Sonobond, 1191 McDer-
