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

Balancing between
the following requirements:
• Security
• Functionality
• Aesthetics and Environmental
Friendliness 
• And….. Costs.

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