Abstract
In a ballistic fabric, the use of plurality of bicomponent fibers; the ballistic fabric is made from a plurality of bicomponent fibers and a plurality of high strength fibers. The bicomponent fibers have a sheath and a core, the sheath being made of a polymer having a melting point and the core being made of a polymer having a melting point. The sheath's melting point is less than the core's melting point. The fabric is bonded together using the sheath polymer of the bicomponent to the fibers of the fabric.
