5. What Was Needed
A solution for eliminating the hazards from concrete and brick debris that follow a blast event.

6. The Design Challenge Balancing between the following requirements:
Security
Functionality
Aesthetics and Environmental Friendliness 
And….. Costs.

7. Protection Design (1)
The charge’s weight and the stand off distance define the Pressure (psi) and the Impulse (psi x msec)
T.N.T
Stand off Distance
Charge’s weight

8. Examples of Blast Loads
100 kg
10 kg

Pressure [psi] 63

230 13 44
Impulse [psi*msec]

9. Protection Design (2)
The heavier the charge, the longer the blast duration. The shorter the stand off, the higher the pressure. Changing the charge’s weight and it’s location relatively to the target, influences the blast characteristics.

10. The Solution: Ballistic Wall Covering
Innovative, patented technology using composite materials for protecting and shielding people within a building from blast event hazards.

11. Advantages
Withstands the highest blast levels—more than 300 psi*msec (Impulse).
Offers best protection to walls integrated with blast-proof windows and doors.
Reduces substantially hazards from wall debris in case of a direct hit from shoulder-launched anti-tank weapons.
Can be used and installed rapidly by infantry troops in “hot zones”(In-use by the I.D.F).

12. Characteristics & Use
Ideal for retrofit projects and for protecting historical buildings.
Can be applied in banks to protect safe rooms.
Offers engineering flexibility in meeting architectural design specifications.
Can be used to reinforce infrastructures against earthquakes.
Eliminates the need to use heavy and massive framing methods for blast reinforcement of existing walls.
Very cost effective.
Environmentally friendly.
“Breathing” (porous) material which maintains room ventilation.
Can be decorated and painted with commercially available paints.
Flame retardant and fungi resistant.
