BLAST MITIGATION
COATINGS REDUCE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AND INJURY
BLAST PROOF COATINGS
In the world we live in today, it is crucial to prioritize safety and protection, especially in areas where the risk of explosions or blasts is higher. That’s where ArmorThane blast-proof coatings come into play. They are revolutionizing the way we think about defense against explosions, providing a powerful shield against devastating impacts, and ensuring the safety of people and infrastructure.
HOW ARMORTHANE BLAST PROOF COATINGSWORK??
Looking at the anatomy of an explosion, most devastation occurs from the massive pressure that blows apart a structure. By forming a strong “skin” that holds the structure together or reduces fragmentation, the blast. Therefore flying debris that acts like shrapnel is less likely to cause severe damage.
Two primary coating products, ArmorBlast and UltraBlast, are developed from a two-component 100% solid polyurea. They are sprayed on a variety of surfaces. Temperature exposure ranges from -40°F to 350°F with high tear-tensile strength and chemical and water resistance.

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.”
APPLICATIONS FOR BLAST-RESISTANT COATINGS
UNDERSTANDING ARMORTHANE BLAST RESISTANT COATINGS
Our blast-resistant coatings have gained widespread recognition due to their unique blend of strength, resilience, and flexibility. Our blast resistant coatings are designed to reinforce physical structures, making them resistant to the damaging forces unleashed during a blast.
HOW DO BLAST RESISTANT
COATINGS WORK?
Blast resistant coatings are specialized materials designed to mitigate the effects of explosions by absorbing, mitigating, and dispersing blast-induced energy. These coatings act as a protective layer, offering increased durability, strength, and structural integrity to surfaces and equipment.
BLAST RESISTANT COATING APPLICATIONS
The most obvious application of blast mitigation coatings is military and government security facilities. This includes:
- Military Vehicles, Equipment
- Bunkers and Military Facilities
- Political / Government Facilities
- Police Vehicles, Water Patrol Vessels
- Barricades
A number of commercial and private venues are also taking advantage of security coatings for more blast resistant buildings and transportation. These include:
- High Profile Executive Residences
- High Visibility Public Buildings
- Venues such as Sporting Events
- Armored Vehicles, Banks
- Limousines and Other Transportation Targets
- Exposed Pipes, Bridges, Chemical Tanks
- Sensitive Facilities Attracting Protestors
MORE BLAST RESISTANT
APPLICATIONS
In addition to coating building walls and vehicles, products such as blast mats are being manufactured. ArmorThane blast material is sprayed over a special blend of polypropylene and polystyrene foam. This creates a lightweight, portable protection for vehicle floorboards, barricades and other areas.
BLAST RESISTANT
BUNKERS
Concrete training bunkers for Military and Police that are sprayed with ArmorThane have proven to save thousands of dollars to facilities such as National Security Associates. Read how these bunkers can take nearly 200 grenades before being re-coated.

MAXIMUM DURABILITY
Not all dangers are due to terrorism; some facilities can be at risk for accidental explosion. Combustible environments such as chemical plants, refineries and a variety of tank applications can benefit from safety features of these coatings. An added benefit is the chemical-resistant and leak-proof nature of the coatings.
Besides reducing the impact of explosions, our coatings add maximum durability against earth tremors, extreme weather, highly corrosive chemicals. These failures can cause significant consequential damage and costly environmental hazards. Coating items such as sewage treatment systems, excavating machinery, chemical tanks and containment linings will repair and protect from further damage.
