Blast Suppression Blanket

Blast suppression blankets are used to suppress the blast fragmentation from an explosion that can cause damage and injuries.

These blankets are particularly useful for suspected IEDs contained in packages up to briefcase size and pipe bombs.

The multiple layer ballistic material is enclosed in a heavy-duty nylon, water-resistant cover which is fitted with lifting straps and clearly marked DANGER.

Both blanket and circle fold into a compact, easily carried holdall bag. This soft armour can also be used where there may be weight limitations i.e. vehicle protection – floor and bulkhead protection.

Available at 400m/s or 500m/s protection levels. Click here for futher details and a demonstration of how the Blast Suppression Blanket is deployed.

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.
