Maintenance And Care Tips for Bulletproof Helmets

Proper maintenance and care can not only extend the service life of the helmet, but also ensure that it can play the best protective effect at critical moments. KIANG bulletproof helmet manufacturer not only develops and produces high quality bulletproof helmets, but also can maintain and care for ballistic helmets.

Regular inspection and evaluation

Appearance inspection

Before and after each use, the helmet shell should be carefully checked for cracks, dents or scratches. These damages may weaken the protective ability of the helmet. Once found, it should be stopped immediately and the manufacturer or professional maintenance organization should be contacted for evaluation.

Parts inspection

Check whether the helmet's suspension system, buckles and adjustment devices are intact to ensure that they can firmly fix the helmet and adapt to different head shapes. If damaged or loose, it should be repaired or replaced in time.

Cleaning and maintenance

Shell cleaning

Use mild soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe the helmet shell. Avoid using chemical cleaners or strong solvents to avoid damaging the helmet surface coating or material. After cleaning, wipe it clean with clean water and dry it naturally, avoiding direct sunlight or high temperature baking.

Liner cleaning

The liner is the part of the helmet that easily accumulates sweat, dandruff and bacteria, and should be cleaned regularly. For removable liner, it is recommended to clean it according to the following steps:

Put the liner in warm water (about 25℃) and add neutral detergent (such as laundry detergent, shampoo or baby bath liquid).

After soaking for 10-15 minutes, gently rub and squeeze to avoid deformation caused by excessive force.

Rinse with cold water several times to ensure that there is no detergent residue.

Let it air dry naturally in a ventilated place and avoid direct sunlight.

For non-removable liner, use a soft-bristled toothbrush and neutral detergent to gently brush the inside, then rinse it with clean water and dry it naturally.

Regular disinfection

In a high temperature and humid environment, bacteria and mold are easy to grow inside the helmet. You can use a special helmet disinfection spray or alcohol cotton balls for disinfection.

Storage and maintenance

Storage environment

When the helmet is not in use, it should be stored in a dry, ventilated and cool place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature environment. At the same time, avoid placing the helmet with sharp objects or heavy objects to avoid scratches or crushing.

Use a helmet bag or box

Using a special helmet bag or box to store the helmet can effectively protect it from dust and physical damage. These accessories are usually provided with the helmet or can be purchased separately from the manufacturer.

Prevent chemical contact

Avoid contact between the helmet and corrosive chemicals to prevent material degradation.

Precautions

Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun

Prolonged exposure to the sun may cause the helmet shell and lining materials to age, fade or deform, thereby reducing the protective performance.

Regular replacement

Even if the appearance of the helmet remains good, it is recommended to replace it regularly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Because over time, the protective material inside the helmet may gradually age or fail and cannot provide adequate protection.

Avoid excessive collisions

Although bulletproof helmets are designed to protect against ballistic threats, excessive or frequent collisions may cause damage to the internal structure and affect the protective effect.

Stay away from high temperature fire sources

The materials of bulletproof helmets are sensitive to high temperatures. Avoid long-term exposure to high temperature environments or contact with fire sources to prevent the materials from melting or performance degradation.

Follow the manufacturer's guidelines

Different brands and models of ballistic helmets may have different maintenance and care requirements. Therefore, be sure to carefully read and follow the manufacturer's guidelines before performing any maintenance or care operations.
