Innovative Repair Product Offers Multi-Threat Security Solution

ProtectiFlex® is a proprietary technology combining recycled non-biodegradable material, composite fibers and/or rebar in a cement matrix and can be provided in various forms including masonry, precast, cast-in place, modular and shotcrete applications. It can be manufactured in a batching plant using conventional equipment and sprayed, poured or cast. This adaptability provides a cost-effective solution in a wide range of architectural finishes resembling traditional concrete or masonry. ProtectiFlex® has been tested and validated under severe loading scenarios including direct-fire flame, standard fire testing, seismic, ballistic, far-field blast loading, contact charge detonations, fragmentation and impact mitigation testing from weapon effects. 

This demonstration will highlight the various product forms that can be integrated in a retrofit solution for extreme loading,  that the product utilizes existing retrofit construction implementation practices and provides a lighter-weight retrofit solution when compared to retrofits that utilize standard or high-strength concrete solutions,  and has superior multi-threat mitigation performance when compared with other concrete retrofit mitigation solutions for extreme loading events.

Objectives:

  1. Address multiple man-made (intentional or accidental) and natural hazards in a single product retrofit solution
  2. Present a lighter-weight retrofit solution for extreme loading when compared to standard-based or high strength- based concrete retrofit solutions
  3. Utilize sustainable products that have recycled content and long lifespans
  4. Reduce overall retrofit costs and expedite construction schedules by utilizing best practices
