THE PHYSICS OF BLAST PROTECTION

Understanding blast failure in milliseconds.

HOW BLAST WAVES WORK

THREE ZONES

Shock Front: Pressure spikes instantly.

Peak Overpressure: Maximum compressive force.

Negative Phase: Suction pulls coatings away.

All in milliseconds. Material choice = survival.

WHY

EPOXY FAILS

THREE PROBLEMS

❌ Brittle — Cracks under pressure

❌ Slow Cure — 24-48 hours offline

❌ Too Thin — 2-4 mils cannot distribute force

Once it cracks, protection is gone.

POLYUREA: ENGINEERED FOR BLAST

FOUR ADVANTAGES

✓ Sets hard in SECONDS (not 48 hours)

✓ ELASTIC — Deforms, absorbs, recovers

✓ THICK — 45-90 mils vs 2-4 mils

✓ TESTED — Military-grade proven Deforms under pressure. Then recovers.

Real data

300 PSI failure threshold

500-800+ PSI sustained strength

Cure time

24–48 hrs before you can use it FAILS

Cure time

Seconds

hard immediately

✓Immediate readiness

✓Intact under load

2–3x the protection. Immediate readiness.
