BlastWrap® products are made from two flexible films arranged one over the other and joined by a plurality of seams filled with attenuating filler material (volcanic glass bead or other suitable two-phase materials), configurable (designed for each application) with an extinguishing coating that offers a revolutionary blast protection system against all blast and fire/burn threats. This unique system:
- Saves Lives & Protects Valuable Assets
- Dramatically Reduces Blast Impulse & Pressure
- Quenches Fireballs & Post Blast Fires
- Non Toxic and Ecologically Friendly
- Works 24 Hours a Day
- Never Fails
BlastWrap® is a concept for assemblies (not a chemical compound) from which blast protection products are built to save lives and reduce damage to valuable assets from explosions. BlastWrap® not only substantially reduces blast impulse and pressure (including reflected pressure and impulse), but quenches fireballs and suppresses post-blast fires. Lethal fragments may be captured by adding anti-ballistic armor layers on the product surface away from a blast.
BlastWrap® can be used to make containers, linings, barriers, walls, or barricades. BlastWrap® kits enable one to ship pallets to a remote site for rapid erection and installation, without a requirement for special equipment, skills, materials (such as water, sand, and aggregates), or even power. BlastWrap® variants can function as:
- Building Materials
- Decorative Facings
- Linings
- Wall Components
BlastWrap® is presently patent-pending. BlastWrap® actually dissipates substantial portions of blast energy through irreversible mechanical processes, and it rapidly quenches flame fronts and fireballs. These results are accomplished passively without dispersal of agents (foam or powder), without sensors and without power. Since plumbing and wires are not involved with BlastWrap®, no penetrations of watertight and/or fire divisions are required.
BlastWrap® is effective in a remarkably wide range of blast and fireball events. The filler removes substantial amounts of energy from impinging shock waves, almost regardless of intensity, and dramatically suppresses shock reflections in confined spaces. It also serves to quench, or rapidly cool, impinging fireballs and hot explosion gases. Thus, BlastWrap® mitigates blasts regardless of the chemical composition of the exploding material. The nature of the burning material (flammable dust or mist, solid explosive, solid propellant, etc.) affects only the design details of the BlastWrap® product used to mitigate an explosive event, not the ability of BlastWrap® to perform.
