Ballistic steel is used in buildings, military vehicles, special vehicles, aircraft, and vessels for protection against firearms, impact, blast etc. A common drawback in this system is when a projectile strikes ballistic steel. The impact can cause spalling of deadly tiny shrapnel that can cause catastrophic injury or death. Protection from fragmentation and survivability of personnel is therefore a critical feature in the design of any bulletproof or ballistic protection system.

The LINE-X PAXCON solution is designed as an impact mitigation coating layer of protection from projectiles. This impact mitigation coating layer slows the velocity of projectile(s) by absorbing the impact and mitigate the spalling effect when the projectile strikes the armor plate. The effect of impact and fragmentation is significantly reduced and the potential damage or harm to personnel is drastically mitigated. The projectile or bullet will remain entrapped in the LINE-X coating eliminating potential injury or critical damage.

The LINE-X PAXCON solution can also be used as a protective coating for armored plates worn inside ballistic vests, applied on armor plates on battleships, tactical vehicles, ground support equipment, helicopters or around machine gun mounts used on HMMWVs (High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles) and other forward operating assets. The effectiveness of these  solutions are well proven in service and combat zones worldwide.
