Blast Mitigation Systems

One of the greatest threats from a blast comes from fragmentation. Pieces of walls, windows equipment and vehicles flying at high speeds can result in extensive injury or death. Ensuring the survival of an exterior wall of a building without breaking into fragments is the first step in safety.

PX-3350 - Blast Mitigation

PAXCON® offers a revolutionary development in blast mitigation with PX-3350. Known in military and research circles as an Energy Resistant Coating (ERC), the PAXCON coating is flexible, yet stronger than steel. This means that walls outfitted with the unique PX-3350 coating can withstand explosions up to 20 times greater that a normal, uncoated wall. In the event of an explosion, the PAXCON coated walls flex, but stay together. PX-3350 can be applied to numerous types of structural materials, including wood, steel, plasterboard, concrete, brick, block and more.

PAXCON PX-3350 has been applied and is protecting several buildings around the world, including the U.S. Pentagon, the Federal Court House in NY, the Washington Naval Base and several buildings throughout London.


WaterWall

WaterWall is made from PVC coated double wall fabric. WaterWall reduces the blast pressures by as much as 95% as well as the velocity of fragments produced by an explosion. One of its major benefits is to inhibit the formation of toxic gas cloud so that it protects the air from the explosion's pollution. Due to the water, it captures forensic evidence and eases the investigation process. The WaterWall solution is very cost effective when compared to other solutions.
