Advanced Composite Construction Optimizes Blast Protection

  • Specially formulated film and high-performance scrim provide an optimized level of strength and ductility
  • A unique adhesive system promotes exceptional bond performance for use on diverse, even rough, wall surfaces
  • Product properties engineered to absorb significant energy during a blast event

 


 

In conjunction with the overall flexibility of the composite system, each component independently and jointly serves to optimize the energy capture necessary to mitigate blast and blast shock wave effects.

 

Pre-Blast*

Post-Blast*

1. The interior side of a structure’s exterior wall shown here protected with X-FLEXTM prior to the blast event 2. The exterior side of the same wall in #1 post-blast demonstrating that X-FLEX has kept the wall materials from flying into the structure during the blast. As well X-Flex has held the wall materials in place despite the failure of the mortar, providing the added protective measure should a secondary attack ensue post the blast event itself 3. The interior side of the wall (same as #1).  X-FLEX was successful in contributing to keeping anyone within the structure safe, despite a large scale blast event.

 

X-FLEXTM is Conveniently Packaged

  • Convenient 48” x 36 linear foot rolls standard
  • Struts (channel anchors) with bolts
  • Optional installation kits and water-based primer
  • Alternate widths (max 48”) and lengths available
  • Alternative designs to meet specific threat-levels and other requirements can be manufactured to meet specific needs

Berry Plastics can provide guidance for proper use of the material for blast mitigation as well as guidance for use in protecting structures from flying debris from hurricanes and tornados.
