ARMOUR PROTECTIVE COATINGS
Reduce Casualties, Property Damage
ArmorBlast and UltraBlast, both pure polyureas, spray on military and other vulnerable transportation to reduce the devastating impact from explosion. The coatings have extremely high elongation which prevents or slows the surface from tearing.
These protective coatings are sprayed on surfaces inside and out for maximum protection. Another use is to spray blast pads with the coating for protection plus noise, vibration and the reduction of impact from blast waves.
Coatings can be sprayed to seal cracks and crevices. By forming a leak proof barrier, they prevent or slow the intake of water, chemicals, and gases.
Secondary benefits include repairing damage or deterioration from rust, sunlight, weather. As with truck bed liners, EnviroTherm coatings prevent scratching and denting of new or used metal that leads to rust. UV ColorCoat stability maintains appearance even in prolonged direct sunlight. These benefits extend the service life of the vehicle.
Types of Polyurea Applications
Coatings can be applied to many types of military, government and private vehicles that can be high profile targets:
-
Military Jeeps
-
Military Transport Trucks
-
Armored Tanks
-
Limousines
-
Fuel / Chemical Tankers
-
Aircraft
-
Ships, Boats
A New Level of Security
Our goal is to help build a more secure environment that reduces structural damage and injury or even death caused by targeted attacks with explosives. Coatings are used for both buildings and vehicles.
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 and reduces fragmentation, the blast is less likely to cause severe damage.
ArmorBlast Applications
While our coatings have been used for the Military, applications in today’s terrorism-prone world extend much further. Coatings are used for both buildings and vehicles.
-
Military Vehicles, Equipment, Bunkers and Facilities
-
Political / Government Facilities, Executive Residences
-
Public Buildings and High Visibility Venues
-

Police Vehicles, Water Patrol Vessels, Barricades
-
Limousines and Other Transportation Targets
-
Exposed Pipes, Bridges, Chemical Tanks
-
Sensitive Facilities Attracting Protestors
-
Training Bunkers for Military and Police
-
Combustible environments – chemical plants, refineries
Chemical Composition
ArmorBlast and UltraBlast are developed from a two-component 100% solid polyurea. They can be sprayed at a wide range of temperatures from 18°F to 150°F. Temperature exposure ranges from -40°F to 350°F with high tear-tensile strength and chemical and water resistance. In addition to CMU structures, they can be sprayed on other substrates such as metal, concrete and foam blast mats. These seamless, waterproof coatings have no VOC’s or solvents.
Independent Testing
Testing of ArmorThane’s military-grade material proves that the coatings significantly reduce building damage from explosion, compared to non-coated surfaces and other products. The Missouri University of Science & Technology Explosives Laboratory tested ArmorBlast coatings on a structure of concrete masonry units (CMU) to simulate public buildings.
“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 MO S&T report. “ArmorBlast proved to have extremely high elongation, toughness and adhesion”.
The Most Durable Protective Coatings Available
Beyond Blast Mitigation
In addition to reducing the impact of explosions, our coatings add maximum durability against extreme weather, earth tremors, excessive friction and highly corrosive chemicals. These events can cause 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. Ask us for more details on these issues
