Process of manufacturing cement based armor panels

A method of making a blast resistant panel comprising:

• preparing a cementitious mixture into a cementitious core comprising:
• a continuous phase resulting from the curing of a self leveling cementitious aqueous mixture of:
• 5-45 weight % inorganic cement binder,
• in the absence of silica flour,
• 35-65 weight % sand having a particle size of about 250-350 microns,
• 5-15 weight % pozzolanic filler having a median particle size of less than or equal to 0.1 microns,
• 1.0-1.2 weight % polycarboxylate based self-leveling agent,
• triethanolamine an in an amount of about 0.025 to about 0.075 wt. % by weight of the cement binder,
• tartaric acid an acid in an amount of about 0.40 to about 0.60 wt. % by weight of the combined weight of the cement binder and pozzolanic filler, and
• 6-12 weight % water,
• adding fiber glass reinforcing fiber in an amount of about 3.0-3.5% by volume to the mixture to form a uniform mixture,
• forming the uniform mixture into a fiber reinforced cementitious panel;
• curing the fiber reinforced cementitious panel to produced a partially hardened cementitious panel,
• sanding the surfaces of the partially hardened cementitious panel,
• cutting the partially hardened cementitious panel to a desired size,
• curing the partially hardened cementitious panel to a final hardened cementitious panel, and
• attaching a fiber glass reinforced polyester laminate skin layer to at least one surface of the cementitious panel.
