It is multiple layers of fiberglass fabric and resin put together under extreme heat and pressure.

It will stop the bullets from your coworker, a teacher or student who brings a gun to the workplace, or school, and tries to kill you and as many other people as possible.

It will stop a knife thrust (with the point) or slash (with the blade).

It has flame/heat resistant properties also.

Bulletproof* - See the bottom of this page for exactly what our UL Level I, UL Level III and NIJ Level IIIA clipboards will stop.

Our new 9"x12"x1/2" Ballistic Clipboard meets the standard for NIJ Level IIIA and UL Level III. It will stop handgun rounds up to and including a 44 magnum.

The new board has square corners as opposed to mitered corners and has a slightly smoother surface than our earlier board.

We now have two companies which make our ballistic fiberglass which then becomes a Ballistic Clipboard.

Fiber-Tech http://www.fiber-tech.net/home.htm makes our boards to standards of the National Institute of Justice "NIJ" and the Underwriters Laboratories.

and

Waco Composites makes our boards which carry an Underwriters Laboratories "UL" seal of approval.

In the photo to the right you can see the multiple layers which absorb the energy of the bullet and trap it inside.

See below for the clipboard that stopped bullets.

The clips are held on by Key Posts (screws) which are designed for leatherwork. (Bill worked for Tandy Leather Company in another lifetime.)

They are nickel plated and very sturdy. You can remove them if you wish. Keep in mind the paint may stick to the key posts and/or the clip and the paint may pull off the board. But you can repaint.

The key posts are made in Taiwan, which is not mainland Red China; Yet.

Here is the shot board. See the "Photos of stopped bullets" page for more photos.

This part of our board comes from China. If someone can fine this made in the USA let me know. Bill.

First we put on primer to cover any blemishes. It is a construction material after all. (We are trying different coverings. Your board may not have a primer coat.)

Then we paint it to make it conform to your environment.

We made the civilian model bigger (13x16) to cover more of your body than the average clipboard; just in case the shooter's aim is a little off.

The Professional Model is the size of a regular clipboard (9x12) so that officers can move it in and out of their vehicles more easily.

Of course the UL Level III and NIJ Level IIIA models are legally available to the general public. For now anyway.   A
