BlastGard International to Exhibit BlastWrap™ at the ASIS International 51st Annual Seminar & Exhibits

September 9, 2005 -- Tampa, FL and Washington, DC -- BlastGard International, Inc. (OTCBB: BLGA), the creator of blast mitigation products and services, will be exhibiting its "BlastWrap" and their proprietary BlastGard MTR trash receptacles at the ASIS International 51st Annual Seminar & Exhibits. The American Society of Industrial Security (ASIS), the world's most comprehensive educational and networking event in the security industry, is meeting at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FL. The Seminar is specifically designed for and by security professionals, and runs from September 12th through September 14th. Senior management from BlastGard International will be located at Booth #282 on the exhibit floor.

Jim Gordon, Chairman of BlastGard commented, "Trash receptacles, a necessity for waste management in all arenas, pose a serious threat to public safety considering how easily they can conceal an explosive device. Our BlastGard MTR series of blast mitigating trash receptacles effectively deals with all aspects of the detonation of an IED explosion including primary and secondary fragments, mechanical, thermal, after burn threats and reflected pressure.

"We are very pleased about our first significant order of 190 receptacles, valued at approximately $735,000, from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. Our BlastWrap technology effectively "wraps" the containers in a blast mitigating material and quenches any detonated device, keeping the explosive inside the receptacle and mitigating the effects to the surrounding area, saving lives and protecting property," added Gordon.
