BulletSafe

BulletSafe Bulletproof Vests was launched to ensure that people have an affordable, protective choice in body armor. BulletSafe's goal is to save as many lives as possible by making protection affordable, so that companies can protect their employees and so individuals can protect themselves.

In the 1990's a guy named Tom was working for a defense helicopter company. His job was to test out new things to make sure they worked. One new thing he tested was a new bulletproof fuel tank liner. Instead of being made by Kevlar®, it was made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (PE). Kevlar® is nice, but because it is only made by Dupont, it is very expensive. PE can be made by anyone, so it costs less. 70% less, actually. The new fuel tank liner performed just as well as the Kevlar one, and the company started using it. Tom received a little paper certificate for being part of the team that saved the company so much money.
