Technological developments are progressing rapidly today. This is also true in the field of blast resistance. Increasingly, we see new technology that potentially makes the world a little safer. However, with blast resistance, the risks are so high that an ill-considered choice can have catastrophic consequences. Our Product Management department closely monitors new developments and thoroughly tests these innovations before deciding to implement them for a project. Below you will find an overview of blast-resistant innovations that have passed our tests and which we fully endorse. <\/p>\n<\/div>

To secure (existing) windows, Mactwin has partnered with the English company Abbey Group to implement their SecuraBlinds, so-called blast-resistant blinds, in the Netherlands.\u202fSecuraBlinds<\/a> look and can be used like ordinary sun-shading vertical blinds, which are commonly seen in office environments. However, these blinds also absorb the pressure wave of an explosion. The positive phase of the pressure wave pushes the blinds shut in a split second. The window on the outside may shatter into thousands of fragments, but the blinds keep all these fragments and other debris out. The SecuraBlinds are even strong enough to eject glass and debris outwards during the so-called negative phase of the pressure wave. We have extensively tested this with various amounts of explosive material. Even when detonating as much as 500 kilograms of TNT at a distance of 28 meters, the blinds fully absorbed the pressure and force of this explosion. These blinds are now being used in various locations in the Netherlands, in the financial heart of London, in the Middle East, and in conflict zones to protect government buildings, offices, and hotels against the effects of car bombs. <\/p>\n<\/div>
