PAXCON offers a revolutionary development in Blast Mitigation. PAXCON offers a revolutionary development in Blast Mitigation. Known in military and research circles as an Energy Resistant Known in military and research circles as an Energy Resistant Coating (ERC), the PAXCON coating is flexible yet stronger than Coating (ERC), the PAXCON coating is flexible yet stronger than steel. This means that walls outfitted with the unique PAXCON steel. This means that walls outfitted with the unique PAXCON coating can withstand explosions up to 20 times greater than a coating can withstand explosions up to 20 times greater than a normal, uncoated wall.normal, uncoated wall.
