Our Blast Coat is a high strength energy absorbing super-polymer designed to deliver extensive elastomeric resiliency when subjected to explosive energy forces. It is a military grade formulation which possesses extremely high material tear strength and superior toughness.
Our Blast Coat is a high strength energy absorbing super-polymer designed to deliver extensive elastomeric resiliency when subjected to explosive energy forces. It is a military grade formulation which possesses extremely high material tear strength and superior toughness. When subjected to an exothermic explosion, the super-polymer’s molecular geometry is pushed to a very high energy state enabling it to absorb the kinetic energy of the blast’s shock wave. It will provide containment of its underlying fractured substrate preventing the debris of shrapnel fragments. Military testing has demonstrated blast pressure rates in the order of 250 psi/ms performance at 0.25″ thickness.
There are 2 primary super-polymer formulations used in military protection applications. Blast Coat – which is used for explosive blast containment and Ballistic Coat, which is designed to stop armor piercing bullets. Ballistic Coat is constructed as a NEAT super-polymer or as a composite fabrication. Material thicknesses of the super-polymers are dictated by the required level of protective performance along with application specific required substrates. Typical material substrates include very high strength steel, 6061 Aluminum, UHMW engineering polymers, fabric composites, masonry and concrete.
