This spall liner is designed for use with steel body armor plates to help manage bullet fragmentation after impact. While the liner does not provide standalone ballistic protection and does not change the armor rating of the plate, it is built to aid in capturing or reducing the movement of spall created when a projectile strikes steel armor.
Constructed from a specialized blend of aramid fibers, the liner is intended to be worn in front of the steel plate, facing the strike side, as part of a properly configured steel armor setup. For users running steel rifle plates, a spall liner adds an additional layer of fragment-management material without replacing the ballistic protection provided by the plate itself.
Direction for use: Place the spall liner in front of the steel plate in your plate carrier.
*This product can also be used as a trauma pad

FAQs
What does a spall liner do?
A spall liner provides protection from bullet fragmentation and shrapnel that can happen when steel plates are shot. Typically spall liners are lightweight and cover the plates in the front to prevent any spall from injuring the wearer.
Does spall liner work?
While some steel plates now come with a special anti-spall coating, adding a spall liner is still recommended for additional spall mitigation and protection.
How thick is a spall liner?
Premier Body Armor's spall liner is a thin, lightweight, aramid (similar to kevlar) panel that adds very little weight or thickness to your steel plate loadout.
