Line-X Protective Coatings has announced that its Paxcon products have secured a safety initiative recommendation from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for retrofitting government buildings, military bases and vehicles.
The USACE’s recommendation process was based on the superior performance of the Paxcon protective coatings during a series of blast mitigation experiments. The tests were conducted to determine the ability of the walls coated with different protective coatings to withstand a specific blast load. The results will be used to design a computerised model to design retrofits of government buildings to fulfil better blast mitigation specifications
