How does Altree withstand sudden impacts?
Since the Altree process uses woody fibers instead of flour, it possesses increased mechanical properties such as unnotched Izod impact energy. When struck with handgun or rifle bullets, the entrance and exit holes in Altree panels are about the same diameter. This performance is greatly improved compared to plywood, for example, where the bullet causes severe splintering on exit. Bullet holes in Altree can be repaired easily. Back To Top 15.
