SubscribePAXCON™ UK Ltd is proud to announce that after detailed assessment of the effectiveness of its blast mitigation coating the company has achieved the highly sought after ‘Secured by Design’ status.
Secure by Design, which is owned by the Association of Chief Police Officers and supported by the Home Office and other Government departments, was set up to create safer built environments for all.
Secured by Design promotes the independent assessment and ongoing third party monitoring of manufacture of a wide scope of crime prevention products, including a number of anti-terrorism systems. The PAXCON™ blast mitigation coating was assessed by several Government departments to ensure it met the strict criteria required to enable the product to carry the prestigious Secured by Design logo.
Calvin Beckford, Development Officer for Secured by Design in Southern England, said "The Paxcon blast mitigation coating is the first of such products to be awarded Secured by Design status and I'm delighted that Paxcon have chosen this police initiative to promote their effective system"
When tested by the US Air force, PAXCON® was the ONLY spray-on Blast Mitigation Coating out of 27 tested that PASSED all the tests, and now here in the UK it's the ONLY coating to achieve the Secured by Design recognition. The PAXCON® coating can be applied to new builds as well as being retrofitted to existing buildings that are being upgraded to a more secured status. PAXCON® is a non intrusive coating that when applied to the walls of a building will contain the fragmentation caused by an explosion or bomb blast. With over 80% of casualties of a bomb blast caused by fragmentation PAXCON® is one cost effective solution that can potentially save lives.
