Blast Mitigation Coatings by PAXCON
GET IN TOUCHBlast Mitigation by PAXCON®
Blast Mitigation, also known as bomb mitigation are forms of defence to protect people, facilities and assets by decreasing or preventing the effects of a bomb blast. PAXCON PX-3350 is a spray applied protective coatings that has been designed to mitigate the effects of an explosion by containing the fragmented pieces, that cause up to 80% of injuries during a bomb blast.
When applied as part of a comprehensive protective measure against terror attacks and other dynamic events, PAXCON aids at keeping structures intact giving occupants valuable time to reach safety.
Testing Proves PAXCON’s Durability Against Real-World Terror Attacks
A car bomb explosion was detonated just 9.1 meters from a PAXCON-coated CMU wall during recent blast testing with Stone-OBL Extreme Load Testing in Bend, Ore. Watch the video to see how PAXCON contains the wall during the blast.
PAXCON Vs. 90Kg of TNT
To demonstrate the coating’s abilities, explosive experts and researchers at New Mexico Institute’s Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC) conducted a series of explosions to confirm the protective capabilities of PAXCON®. Two identical concrete structures were built, one left uncoated and one coated with PAXCON. Both structures contained an office setting complete with a dummy, desk, and computer equipment. Then a bomb equivalent of 90 kgs of TNT and 2.2 kgs of C4 was detonated 9.1 meters from the structure. “The dummy in the PAXCON protected room was unscathed,” said Alan Perryman, EMRTC’s Research Engineer and Test Specialist. “A little dust kicked up, and the walls flexed and pounded like drums, but everything held up just fine. We at EMRTC are very impressed with the way the PAXCON protected room held up.”
Blast Protection Wordwide
PAXCON has been applied and is protecting several buildings around the world, including the U.S. Pentagon, the Federal Court House in NY, the Washington Naval Base, and several buildings throughout London (UK).
