Top US Experts Give Life-saving, Anti-blast Solutions At National Bomb Convention

Top security organisations including the Pentagon, US Secret Service, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the US Dept of Defense and anti-terrorist groups converge for important discuss 

The matter of security is an ever evolving subject owing to the ever changing security landscape across the globe. It is against this backdrop that some American manaufacturers are set to make presentations on "life-saving, anti-blast solutions to top government and military leaders at the National Bomb Convention holding between July 16 - 17th 2025.

Information provided by Publicist for Packaging And Crating Technologies (PACT), a Fireproof Solutions company locates in Nevada, Alisa Picerno, top security organisations like the Pentagon, US Secret Service, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the US Dept of Defense and anti-terrorist groups would be fully represented at the National Bomb Convention. 

The American Manufacturers aim to showcase fireproof solutions and packaging, crating technologies, powerful anti-blast line to the top government and military leaders. 

The company will be showcasing products designed to handle Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD), Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) And Countermine among other forms of devices that constitute threats plaguing the world.  

The Chief Executive Officer, Fireproof Solutions, Incorporated, Dennis Rediker, was quoted saying, “As a primary manufacturer of specialized coatings for wildfire defense, structural fireproofing and lithium-ion battery safety, we are eager to demonstrate how our advanced line can be applied to mitigate some of the world’s most dangerous explosion hazards,” 

According to him, “With a focus on cutting edge materials and rigorous industry testing, we know that our fire protection and blast mitigation solutions will be a game-changer to the hundreds of top government and military leaders in attendance.” 

Rediker further explains that the key objective of the convention is to discuss ways to reduce explosive hazards during EOD operations, which involve getting rid of stockpiles of old munitions, land mines and captured materials, and the safe handling of IED, such as booby traps materials to build bombs and other improvised explosive devices. 

"In fact, Europe is in an emergency rush to ramp up munitions production, which they then need to move and store. Russia has already attacked some munitions plants and logistics operators over the last eighteen months"

Rediker highlighted several ways that Fireproof Solutions’ and PACT’s unique product lines can assist the bomb industry with munitions logistics, blast mitigation and Q/D reduction. 

He said, when people or groups make munitions, they must store the volatile components, and then ship and stockpile the munitions, often in dangerous locations. These munitions according to him are transported by trucks, trains, ships and cargo airplanes and small blasts can often propagate from the exploding device to its surrounding munition, a phenomenon called “sympathetic detonation". 

"Explosions aboard ships and airplanes can be disastrous, as are blasts on trains and in tunnels. PACT manufactures specially designed, durable corrugated cardboard containers and crates that are approved by the U.S. Department of Defense. When these containers include FPS blast-mitigating components and are coated with the company’s fire-resistant coatings, it makes handling and transporting explosive materials and devices safer by lowering the risk of such incidents"

Mitigation 

He revealed that, the US Navy does not like to ship Army and Air Force munitions, while the Air Force doesn't want its cargo aircraft to carry munitions, either. He explained that when thin panel structures are filled with Fireproof Solutions’ blast mitigation material, any explosions that do occur are immediately dissipated as the material produces a venting effect to reduce the blast energy and pressure so that fireballs are suppressed.  

Similarly, this blast mitigation technology works inside containers, rooms, ship compartments, tunnels, and buildings and combining them with PACT’s cardboard containers, this would mitigate packaging and crating hazards, thus causing a huge improvement in safe logistics. 

According to Rediker, Department of Defense regulations require a "safe separation distance" between explosives or munitions and public roads and occupied buildings. "Q" is the quantity (charge weight) and "D" refers to the distance to the roads and buildings. Distances can range from a few feet to thousands of feet, depending upon the charge weight. 

By dramatically reducing pressure through PACT and FPS’ fire-resistant packaging and crates, distances can be reduced and, in many cases, eliminated, thereby saving the Air Force, Army and Navy hundreds of millions of dollars in operations and transportation costs.  

PACT is a global leader in manufacturing sustainable, packaging products for the commercial, industrial and military industries. 

The company is a preferred vendor for the US Department of Defense and has been awarded a special permit from the US Department of Transportation for the shipping of lithium-ion batteries, as well as passed the proposed SAE-G-27 test standard.
