Are you talking about the coroplast material? It is corogated plastic. They are used for what they call bandit signs. What is your location? I make these signs or you can find a local sign shop.

Fiberglass or fibreglass is material made from extremely fine fibers of glass. It is widely used in the manufacture of insulation and textiles. It is also used as a reinforcing agent for many plastic products; the resulting composite material, properly known as glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) or glass-fiber reinforced epoxy (GRE), is called "fiberglass" in popular usage.

Strange question but the answer will be in the basic characteristics of silk.  I don't think it provides much ballistic protection, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered with Kevlar.  As for edged protection, whatever that is, again it should match the characteristics of regular silk.

plastic, but it doesn't breathe, so for a person or something, wool is good.\n\nAs for insulating something that is not a person, combinations work well, and so does aluminum foil.

carbon fiber.\nit comes as a soft material rolled up like cloth, then they cut it and put it around a mould. It is hardened by putting it under a vacuum, and then in a huge autoclave which cooks the material. the result is strong yet light carbon-fiber

Bullets are usually made of lead, with an outer shell of copper. Lead is a known carcinogen. It is not a good idea to mess with it, without the required permits and protection. I don't think it is worth the hassle.

Armorcoat. Take it from a Floridian...\n\n(ouch).

One possibility would be frangible ammo, which won't penetrate through walls and is non-toxic (no lead).  I don't know if you can get rubber bullets anywhere, but that may be a bad idea (it would just make the intruder madder).\n\nhttp://www.precisionammo.com/\nhttp://accutecusa.com/\nhttp://www.precisioncartridge.com/frangible.html\nhttp://www.iccammo.com/products.html

It isn't true -- in different circumstances many ambassadors wear bullet-proof vests.\n\nYou can't believe everything you read.
