A composite article and method for manufacturing the same are disclosed.
In one embodiment, a polyurethane-polyurea layer is disposed on a
substrate. The polyurethane-polyurea layer includes a reaction product of
an isocyanate component having from about 10% to about 90% of a toluene
diisocyanate, by weight of the isocyanate component, and an
isocyanate-reactive component having amine-terminated and/or
hydroxyl-terminated compounds. The polyurethane-polyurea layer provides
blast and fragment protection from explosive devices as well as ballistic
mitigation.
