INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS
|
- In aircraft dry bays, cargo holds, and containers. BlastWrap® technology offers the only practical means of protecting commercial aircraft against internal detonation of solid explosive charges without requiring specially hardened luggage containers. BlastWrap®, for example, can be used as cargo compartment linings and partitions. BlastWrap®'s weight and dimensions are well within the allowable margins for these aircraft. Use of BlastWrap® linings in air cargo containers enhances protection capabilities, and BlastWrap® is unique in being suitable for retrofit in existing containers.
- As walls to protect buildings against vehicle bombs
- Aboard naval vessels and merchant ships to minimize damage from breaching blasts emanating from mines, cruise missiles, and torpedoes
- To surround fuel tanks for suppressing fireballs' and explosions
- As dividers to suppress fireballs and fuel mist explosions from accidents aboard both aircraft and ships, in process facilities, and on offshore platforms to suppress fireballs and explosions
- As separators and partitions in explosives manufacturing and handling facilities, such as a load/assembly/pack (LAP) depots, fireworks plants, and propellant manufacturing sites
- As pallets and buffers between stacks of palletized munitions and ordnance
- To line portable and fixed magazines
- To make missile launch boxes for military vehicles and naval vessels
- To make cabinets and containers for handling fuses, small rockets, and explosive devices
- To build and maintain reputation as industry leader and reputable supplier
- To expand market size and share, exploiting past sales, contacts, and technology innovations to maximum advantage.
BlastWrap® products protect against outdoor/unconfined explosions. Because of the Montreal protocol's ban of Halon extinguishing agents, BlastWrap® is the only blast and fire suppression means available for most applications, including adaptation for underwater use. It is an inherently effective sound absorber and thermal insulator. BlastWrap® works indoors or out, vented or unvented, wet or dry, clean or dirty, damaged or intact, and against strong or weak blasts from solid explosives or flammable fluids. It is a lightweight, space-efficient custom-engineered product for insulation, fragment/ballistic protection, environmental protection or impact and cushioning barriers. Significantly, no new or high-cost fabrication technologies or materials are required to produce BlastWrap® products.
New Market Sectors
- Blast effect-mitigation for hydrocarbon and process industries
- Quick-erect blast protection barriers and revetments
- Fireball and explosion-suppressing fuel tank jackets (for natural and compressed natural gas, propane, and other "green fuel" vehicle systems)
- Demilitarization protection products
- Blast effect mitigation materials for existing structures' & facilities (magazines, explosive's storage units, warships, propellant plants, etc.)
- Blast protection shields, armors, and structures with "stealth" ("low-observable") camouflage properties
- Blast/fire protection linings for commercial and military aircraft and air cargo containers
- Blast and ballistic-protected modular buildings (barracks, control and accommodations for offshore facilities, field stations, tactical shelters and command facilities, monitoring stations for law enforcement)
- Underwater blast isolation units for offshore facility abandonments, coastal construction, and naval vessels.
Replacement of Existing Technologies
- Composite structures (non blast), such as topsides for offshore facilities, FPSOs, neutral buoyancy jackets for deepwater drilling risers, and sub-sea manifold protection
- Composite blast/fire protection structures and materials (blast walls, blast mitigation billboards, relief vents, reinforcement of masonry buildings) for hydrocarbon, process, mining, missile launch, and manufacturing facilities, and for building demolitions
- Explosive's storage and shipping containers, portable magazines, and explosive disposal kits
- Mine blast protection kits for vehicles
- Safety shields and specialty protection for entertainment industry location sets (Hollywood sound stages, vehicles, on-location structures)
- Personnel and vehicle protective armor
- Mine (coal, mineral extraction and processing) safety
