Independent BLAST PROOF TESTING
While ArmorThane products have been proven effective in the field, ArmorBlast was also scientifically tested by the Missouri University of Science & Technology Explosives Laboratory. A series of tests were conducted on a structure of concrete masonry units (CMU) to simulate public building walls. Results showed our military-grade polyurea significantly reduces building damage from explosion, compared to non-coated surfaces and other products.
“Previous blast tests by MO S&T researchers of other polyurea materials bonded to reinforce concrete showed that the polymer would debond, and in some cases split under blast loading,” reads the UMR report. “ArmorBlast proved to have extremely high elongation, toughness and adhesion.”
