Blast-Resistant Wall Systems

Lightweight wall systems made with tyre-derived material (TDM) offer a high-performance alternative to traditional reinforced concrete or masonry in applications requiring blast and ballistic resistance.

An example of this technology is the ProtectiFlex® composite panel system, developed by Flexiroc. These modular panels use a patented mix of materials—incorporating recycled tyre rubber—to achieve the same structural protection as fully grouted reinforced masonry, while reducing weight by up to 45%.

Designed to resemble precast concrete panels, these systems are suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects. Panels can be cast in a variety of architectural finishes to meet project-specific aesthetic and functional needs.

Key benefits:

• Certified blast and ballistic resistance
• Up to 45% lighter than conventional concrete or masonry systems
• Modular and easy to install, with design flexibility
• Suitable for defence, infrastructure, utilities and public buildings
• Architectural versatility with a range of surface finishes

These wall systems combine safety, efficiency and sustainability — demonstrating the role of TDM in high-performance, impact-resistant construction.
