BlastGard Introduces New Aviation Product Line

Clearwater, FL - June 1, 2006 - BlastGard International Inc. (OTCBB: BLGA), a designer and provider of blast mitigation products and services, has introduced a new line of aviation products. In accordance with an agreement with Nordisk Aviation Products, BlastGard has combined its BlastWrap® blast-mitigating technology with Nordisk's LD3 containers to create superior blast mitigating products for the air cargo and unit loading device (ULD) market. ULDs are pallets and containers used to load luggage, freight, and mail onto wide-body aircraft that facilitate the bundling of cargo into large units. The alliance has developed a new line of ULDs that include BlastWrap®. The introduction of this product line enables the Company to provide the airline industry an important new line of defense to increase airline safety of passengers and crewmembers.

"We are really excited to be working with Nordisk, the world's largest manufacturer of ULD containers, to enhance the safety of air travel worldwide," said James Gordon, CEO of BlastGard. "Our mutual objective is to enhance the safety of air travel worldwide. BlastGard International has developed a blast mitigated system that can be employed in new ULDs or can be retrofitted into an existing container. BlastGard International's BlastWrap system reduces the blast pressures at vulnerable locations on the airframe (where a bag containing an explosive charge can become close to the skin of the aircraft). BlastGard and Nordisk Aviation have assembled a ULD that weights slightly more than a standard container, reduces available volume by only a few percent, is very low cost and is a highly effective blast mitigating solution for ULD containers. This product vastly improves the chances of an aircraft's survival in the event of a midair explosion, such as the one that occurred in 1988 over Lockerbie Scotland. With the introduction of this product line, we will now begin to market them to the airline industry."

Nordisk Aviation Products, headquartered in Holmestrand Norway, is a company that specializes in supplying air cargo equipment to the commercial, integrator and cargo airlines of the world. The company is the leading manufacturer of ULDs (containers and pallets), operating globally with sales offices and regional headquarters in Hong Kong, Copenhagen, and Cape Canaveral, Florida.
