X-Flex is a simple looking wallpaper that can be rolled out to cover your entire room in less then an hour but don’t get deceived by its simple looks! The X-Flex wallpaper is not like any other wallpaper as it will protect your room against any bomb blast or other major impacts. The X-Flex wallpaper is stronger then the any building walls on which it resides and can keep the occupants safe on the inside. It can even protect the walls from shattering on which it has been pasted.
According to Coated:
The strength of X-Flex comes from it’s building material which is Kevlar-tye sheets that are sandwiched between a layer of elastic polymer wrap. Application of the protective sheets couldn’t be easier and consists of removing the sticky backs and rolling it onto the wall while fastening the edges.
The bomb proof is jointly manufactured by Berry Plastics and US Army Corps of Engineers and is going to be initially used for military purposes. It can prove very useful in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan as well as other countries where US army is stationed. The US Army plans to cover its entire bases with this new and durable sheet to provide far more safety to its soldiers. Later on, it can be used for industrial and consumer use. It can help protect important public buildings like railways stations, airports and hospitals. It can be also be used inside industries to provide greater protection.
