Welcome to AG DEFENSE POLYMERS

Founded in 2022 as a subsidiary of AG CHEMI GROUP, AG DEFENSE POLYMERS is a Czech company at the forefront of integrating nanotechnology into polymer applications for defense purposes. By leveraging advanced nanostructuring techniques, the company has developed cutting-edge materials that enhance the efficiency, performance, safety, and capabilities of military-grade ammunition.

What Are Nanomaterials?

Nanomaterials are materials engineered at the nanoscale—typically between 1 and 100 nanometres, or about 100,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. At this incredibly small scale, materials often exhibit unique physical and chemical properties not found in their larger-scale counterparts. These can include increased strength, lighter weight, enhanced thermal and electrical conductivity, and greater chemical reactivity.

In the context of defence applications, nanomaterials enable the development of high-performance solutions such as ultra-light armour, durable coatings, and precision components. By harnessing these properties, AG DEFENSE POLYMERS creates shell cartridges and casings that are not only more efficient but also offer strategic advantages in durability, mobility, and sustainability on the battlefield.

Innovative Ammunition Design

In response to increasing demands for lighter, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable ammunition, AG DEFENSE POLYMERS has developed a revolutionary line of plastic cartridges using advanced nanotechnology. These cartridges represent a significant leap forward in military logistics and battlefield efficiency.

Traditional metal cartridges are often heavy, expensive, and prone to deformation under extreme conditions. By contrast, AG DEFENSE POLYMERS’ plastic cartridges are engineered from nanostructured polymers that provide exceptional strength and resilience while significantly reducing overall weight. This translates into substantial savings in fuel and transport costs, greater mobility for troops, and the ability to carry more ammunition without increasing the load.

In addition to weight advantages, these cartridges are highly resistant to cracking, denting, and other structural weaknesses, even under harsh environmental conditions. They can be used safely across a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels without compromising performance. Furthermore, the cartridges are designed for reuse—each can be fired and reloaded up to five times, offering a significant cost advantage and reducing waste.

The use of recyclable and non-toxic materials also positions AG DEFENSE POLYMERS at the forefront of sustainable defense manufacturing. This innovation not only benefits military efficiency but also aligns with global efforts to reduce environmental impact across all sectors.

Addressing challenges in ammunition supply and performance, AG DEFENSE POLYMERS has developed plastic cartridges using nanotechnology. These cartridges offer several advantages over traditional metal ones.

· Reduced Weight: A 152 mm plastic cartridge weighs approximately 0.924 kg, compared to 14.5–15.46 kg for its metal counterpart.

· Enhanced Durability: Resistant to cracks, dents, and structural deformities.

· Cost-Effective: Lower production costs and recyclable materials.

· Reusable: Designed for up to five firing and reloading cycles.

By rethinking the very materials that make up military-grade ammunition, AG DEFENSE POLYMERS is setting a new standard in how modern armies prepare for the challenges of tomorrow’s conflicts.
