TRANSCRIPT
Blast Armour is advancing process improvements and disrupting old practices (Duck tape) for protecting and
maintaining the integrity and quality of flange raised faces during sandblasting, painting, delivery and site
preservation.
The cost of quality and risk elimination is of very high importance to end user clients and fabricators. Effective analysis of
operational inefficiencies and solving root cause problems is a process to improve fabrication, project execution, health and
safety and the bottom line. Continuous quality improvement and asset integrity are all hallmarks of a successful functioning
Company.
Blast Armour helps you achieve:
* Improved flange raised face integrity protection
* Improved predictability and reliable flange protection
* Improved fabrication yield and throughput
* Improved delivery time of clients assets
* Reduced capital costs
* Reduced fabrication costs
* Reduced inspection time
* Reduced shipping preparation time Stainless steel piping spools
Blast Armour is an advanced innovation in technologies that is improving flange face integrity,
changing outdated practices and reduces operating costs, fabrication costs and delivery times.

Key Benefits of Blast Armour Key areas for Blast Armour
Blast Armour• Improves current industry practices • Reduces defects and damage • Improved predictability / reliability
• Quick and easy use • Reduces assembly time/costs • Improves product delivery time • Reusable
Labor saving breakdownBlast Armour vs Duck TapeExample: 8” flange raised face protection preparation
Application processBlast Armour = 15 seconds or less to apply
Application: (Remove adhesive backing and apply to raised face surface.
Pre-cut to ANSI specifications)
Duck Tape = 2 Minutes to apply
Application: (3 layers, vertical & horizontal directions, recommended industry practice)
(Strip pieces, use of box cutter (safety risk), apply overlapping pattern, trim excess with
box cutter, (risk of flange cut marks leading to defects and increased risk to worker safety)
Blast Armour - 8 times faster / 87.5% labor time savings (Sandblasting preparation time). In addition no time lost for painting protection stage,
Blast Armour stays on while painting, through product delivery and remains on while
laid-up in storage. No additional preparation time needed.
Up to an additional 200% cost savings resulting in faster product delivery
to clients and improved fabrications bottom line.
Removal processBlast Armour = 15 seconds or less to remove
No residue left behind, removal and replacement for inspection.
Duck Tape
7 Minutes to remove Duck tape and clean up
(3 layers, vertical & horizontal directions)
Blast Armour - 28 times faster / 96% labor time savings (no time lost for tape clean up as Duck Tape causes unnecessary delays to commission flange bolt up).
Product specification: Polyvinylchloride (PVC) 2.5 Mils Water based Acrylic High grip adhesive,
(leaves no residue, no clean up needed).
Blast Limits: up to 125 PSI.
Compatible Grits: Sand, Aluminum Oxide, Garnet, Silica Carbide, Glass Beads and many others.
Temperature range: -30 degree Celsius to 135 Celsius (-22 to 275 degree Fahrenheit)
