BLAST SUPPRESSION BLANKETS

Blast Suppression Blankets are designed to suppress the blast fragmentation from an improvised explosive device contained in a small package. The blankets are independently tested against 400m/s and 500m/s fragments.

The safety circle should be placed around the suspect item and then the blanket is carefully placed over the safety circle surrounding the device. Should the device detonate, the safety circle will flex and contain the device fragments.

Our Blast Suppression Blankets

are manufactured using multiple layers of ballistic material enclosed in a heavy-duty nylon cover.

These blankets are supplied with lifting straps and a bag for ease of transportation.

Blast Suppression Blankets protection levels:

  • Level 1: Fragment velocity
    1,312 ft./sec (400 m/sec) V50 standard

    Level 2: Fragment velocity
    1,640 ft./sec (500 m/sec) V50 standard

FOLDING BLAST CONTAINER

The ASL GRP folding blast container is a a light-weight, easy to assemble, and store, containment vessel.

The folding blast container will contain a suspect explosive device while awaiting the arrival of a bomb disposal team.

Designed to withstand blast and fragments from an explosive device containing up to 200g of PE4.

When folded into its storage position, the container will fit in the spare tyre compartment of a vehicle, ideal for Police, fire or security fleets.

Fold points are stitched in red. Quick pressure should be applied to the centre ring diagonals, which naturally makes the container twist.

Repeat the process until all three ring sections have collapsed. Apply pressure to the top of the folded container to compress further.
