Due to the increased emphasis on homeland security and anti-terrorism initiatives in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, LINE-X polymer coatings PAXCON, has been recognized by the U.S. military and the defense industry for its extraordinarily high levels of protection.
One of the greatest threats from a terrorist bomb attack comes from fragmentation, or when pieces of walls, windows, fixtures and other equipment within a structure can cause extensive injury and even death in the event of an explosion. Although walls may shatter during a severe blase, extensive testing has shown the elastomer material developed by LINE-X LFDC, Inc. to remain intact and contain the debris, significantly limiting harmful fragmentation.
In 2001, the Air Force Research Laboratory released technical specs for using a LINE-X proprietary product for blast mitigation. The LINE-X coating was statistically shown to outperform 27 other competitors in a battery of simulated tests conducted by federal agencies and the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).
In 2002, the DOD officially named LINE-X as a vendor/supplier in the bomb blast protective coating category, and a tactical partner in the military's renovation project of the Pentagon after the 9/11 attacks. LINE-X completed the first phase of its blast-resistant protective coating application at the Pentagon later that year, and is currently midway through an extended contract at the landmark defense complex. |
