Bomb proof bubble wrap.

Blastwrap

Blastwrap. Bomb proof bubble wrap, perfect for packing those particularly loving Xmas gifts, don’t you think? Available in a delightful shade of scary. [Via the most wonderful PopSci, heh!]

 BlastWrap is a material (not a chemical compound) from which blast protection products are built to save lives and reduce explosion damage to people and valuable assets. All BlastWrap components are “COTS”. BlastWrap technology is unparalleled in dramatically mitigating the destructive effects of blasts of all kinds, including high explosives and other solids, gases and fuel/air deflagrations.

  • If anyone is wondering, “COTS” usually means Common Off The Shelf.

    Another good one is POTS used to describe a UK telephone socket. Plain Ordinary Telephone Socket.
