The present disclosure relates to a ballistic resistant composite 20 including a bimodal binder, the composite formable in a manner in which it is exposed to low pressure for a short duration of time and at a controlled temperature. More particularly, the bimodal binder of composite 20 allows the composite to be formed with a flat-bed laminator, for example, which may be less expensive than other processing methods, such as a steel belt press. La présente invention concerne un composite à résistance balistique (20) comprenant un liant bimodal, le composite pouvant être formé d'une manière dans laquelle il est exposé à une basse pression pendant une courte durée et à une température contrôlée. Plus particulièrement, le liant bimodal de composite (20) permet au composite d'être formé avec un laminateur à lit plat, par exemple, qui peut être moins coûteux que d'autres procédés de traitement, tels qu'une presse à bande d'acier.
