Demonstration

Ordinary Concrete, and Amidon Shield

Conventional concrete on the left. Amidon Shield on the right. Both under live fire.

Footage from separate tests, not a single controlled side-by-side. Independently verified results are published on our testing and certifications page.

Applications

What We Protect

Amidon Shield creates a protective barrier around critical infrastructure — data centers, communications facilities, secure rooms, and the people who work in them.

  • ArmorBlock walls filled with Amidon Shield stop the UL 752 Level 10 threat (.50 cal M33) at 3 inches of penetration
  • Blast and shockwave mitigation for hardened and secure spaces
  • Forced-entry and hostile-vehicle resistance at the perimeter
  • Direct-flame and thermal-shock performance in internal testing

Materials

One Platform, Six Systems

Every Amidon material shares the same proprietary core. Each is engineered for a different threat profile and build condition.

Field-proven

Proven Where It Is Used, Not Just Where It Is Tested

Independent testing shows what Amidon materials can take in a lab. Fielded systems show what they take every day. Our materials are in service in some of the most punishing environments there are — and they keep performing.

Live-fire training
150M+rounds capturedShoot houses built with Amidon materials take sustained live fire in daily military and law-enforcement training. Amidon materials have captured more than 150 million rounds in service.
Ordnance disposal
120K+detonations containedAmidon-built EOD pits are used by defense customers for the routine destruction of ordnance. Amidon materials have contained more than 120,000 detonations in service.

These are fielded results from systems in active use. Round and detonation figures reflect Amidon’s broader historical portfolio.

Verification

Tested by People Who Don’T Work Here

Our ballistic results come from independent testing. We publish who tested it, against which standard, and what happened.
