TSS ProtecTank for Vehicles, Shipping and Aviation

The external surface of fuel tanks are coated with self sealing materials to prevent leakage, and the inside is filled with explosion suppressant materials. The final outer coating is flame retardant according to the latest UL94 Standards. Besides tests with two DM51 hand grenades, our fuel tanks have also undergone and withstood ballistic tests with the following types of ammunition:

Caliber 5.56 NATO & AP
Caliber 7.62 NATO & AP
Caliber .44 Magnum
Caliber .357 Magnum
Caliber 9 mm NATO
Caliber 12.7 (optional)
Caliber 14.5 (new development)

Independent tests have been carried out by the TNO Laboratory in Holland and the Beschußamt in Germany. The concept of TSS ProtecTank is to enhance the existing OEM tank to be able to survive ballistic and explosive attacks. The self-sealing materials are specifically developed and are capable of sealing entrance and exit holes caused by multiple shots and/or heavy fragmentation impacts. It's possible to convert your existing fuel tank into a TSS Self-Sealing & Flame Retardent fuel tank.
