(October 24, 2004) -On August 17 this year, testing was conducted at New Mexico Tech's Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC) outside Soccorro, NM. The testing consisted of detonating over 200 lbs. of TNT and 4 lbs. of C-4 Plastic Explosives at a stand-off distance of approximately 30 feet. With high-speed video cameras positioned at several vantage points around the exterior, as well as inside the concrete/concrete block structure, the event was recorded by a professional production company	Add your content here
Add your content here		The New Mexico Tech study marks the latest in a long-line of tests conducted by the likes of the Airforce Research Laboratory (AFRL) and U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers (USACE). In each case, LINE-X has proven to withstand the force of the shockwave from blasts of varying sizes and stand-off distances. With 29 competitive products initially tested by AFRL and USACE, LINE-X was the only one to pass every test. As illustrated in the photos below, the room protected with LINE-X remained virtually intact and the occupant survived the blast. The unprotected room was totally destroyed and the occupant perished in the blast.	Add your content here

While structural damage may still occur, fragmentation of the wall is contained and the occupant could walk-away from a potentially fatal attack. LINE-X is now deployed in strategic areas protecting assets around the world, including the U.S. Pentagon.	Add your content here
