Abstract
A blast-resistant container for receiving an explosive or explosive-suspect article comprises a high-strength outer housing, and an inner compressible layer of a mixture including vermiculite in a binder, effective to space the article from the outer housing, to absorb energy of the blast before transmited to the outer housing, to distribute the blast forces over a larger surface area of the outer housing, and to impart resistance to the penetration of fragments to the outer housing.

A blast-resistant container for receiving an explosive or explosive-suspect article comprising a high-strength outer housing;
- characterized in that the housing includes an inner compressible layer of a mixture including vermiculite in a binder, effective to space the article from the outer housing, to absorb energy of the blast before transmitted to the outer housing, to distribute the blast forces over a larger surface area of the outer housing, and to impart resistance to the penetration of fragments to the outer housing.
A blast-resistant container for receiving an explosive or explosive-suspect article comprising:
- a high-strength outer housing;
- and a compressible layer disposed within said housing of a mixture including vermiculite in a binder present in a ratio of 2:1 to 10:1 by volume and effective to space the article from the outer housing, to absorb energy of the blast before transmitted to the outer housing, to distribute the blast forces over a larger surface area of the outer housing, and to impart resistance to the penetration of fragments to the outer housing.
A blast-resistant container for receiving an explosive or explosive-suspect article comprising:
- a high-strength outer housing;
- an inner liner;
- and a compressible layer of a mixture including vermiculite in a binder disposed between said outer housing and said inner liner and effective to space the article from the outer housing, to absorb energy of the blast before transmitted to the outer housing, to distribute the blast forces over a larger surface area of the outer housing, and to impart resistance to the penetration of fragments to the outer housing.
