Ballistic and Blast Protection

Spherical Block LLC is involved in the joint development of its technology with ProtectiFlex technology involves ductile and elastomeric composite material used to create masonry appropriate for blast and ballistic applications, defense applications, hardened structures, seismic applications, and severe weather events. ProtectiFlex provides proprietary technology combining recycled non-biodegradable material, composite fibers, and/or rebar in a cement matrix. 

This material offers protection and can be used to mitigate risk against accidents, natural disasters, and direct attacks. This material design prevents bullet penetration, reduces spalling, and can absorb large amounts of energy without diminishing structural integrity. It has 20 times the strain capacity of traditional concrete before failure.
