    Some of the ways in which TM International blast walls can be used include:

    • Containing blast fragmentation and reducing peak pressure when disposing of explosive devices
    • Providing a fire- and explosion-proof canopy for screening individuals at a security checkpoint, secure entranceway or border crossing
    • Protecting the facade of a building
    • Retrofitting an older facility or storage area
    • Temporary blast protection during special events or times of heightened vigilance
    • Use in chemical processing plants where there is a risk of an explosive chain reaction

     

    In fact, TM International blast shields played a key role in saving lives in a 2008 explosion at a Bayer CropScience chemical plant in West Virginia. According to the official incident report published by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, our product "provided effective protection against penetration by small projectiles traveling at near sonic velocity, as well as penetration by a large fragment traveling more than 100 mph."

    Whatever your application, TM International blast walls can deliver reliable blast mitigation and barrier force protection.
