Fire Retardant Blast Mitigaton for Sea Vessels(1000-888)

Triton Systems proposes to develop a family of blast protection coatings to safeguard vulnerable naval structures. We plan to develop and to preliminarily qualify a series of polyurea formulations that combine ballistic protection with flame retardancy (FR), a common limitation of polyurea systems. Attempts to date to flame retard polyurea have involved introducing additives that erode the ballistic, physical and mechanical performance of the polyurea system and often contribute to an increase in smoke generation. Unlike state of the art FR candidates, Triton’s solution is based on a non-halogenated fire retardant polymer that maintains the ballistic performance of the polyurea formulation while delivering FR performance.
