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.
