Someone mentioned this BlastGard International Inc. on the border security thread started by weatherbill. I decided to start its own thread with some DD. It looks like a very interesting concept and company. Check it out!

The Company's focus is to become the premier provider of blast mitigation products with immediate application for commercial business, government agencies and OEM product suppliers. The Company's technology goes far beyond the current protection paradigm, detection and prevention of security breaches, by offering real protection in the event something goes wrong. BGI recognizes that no system can detect or prevent all intentional and especially unintentional explosive mishaps. The Company believes that it has developed a technology that significantly completes the security system. When detection and prevention strategies fail, BlastWrap? offers protection against explosions.
BlastGard International Inc. has been created to develop, design, manufacture and market proprietary blast mitigation materials. Patent pending BlastWrap? technology has proven to effectively mitigate blasts and suppress flash fires regardless of the material or compound causing the explosion. This unique technology can be used to create new finished products or designed to retrofit existing products. While the need for this technology has always been present, the security and safety concerns resulting from the September 11, 2001 acts and the subsequent development of Homeland Security make the timing of the Company’s emergence even more important. The Company's core market focus is on blast effects mitigation for the commercial sector, military, law enforcement and government agencies.
BlastWrap? is based upon well-defined principles and suppresses blast pressures by 50% or more. BlastWrap? products are made from two flexible films arranged one over the other and joined by a plurality of seams filled with attenuating filler material (volcanic glass bead or other suitable two-phase materials), configurable (designed for each application) with an extinguishing coating that offers a revolutionary blast protection system against blast and fire/burn threats. BlastWrap? can be wrapped around or conform to any shape. BlastWrap? is a concept (not a chemical compound) from which blast protection products are built to save lives and reduce damage to valuable assets from explosions.
