SHOOTING RANGES

NEXT GENERATION BALLISTIC ACOUSTIC TILE

THE FACTS

Shooting ranges need to provide a safe operating environment and mitigate a range of risks including but not limited to ricochet, fire and damaging sound.

Acoustic tiles are one element of a solution but typical tiles are either repurposed commercial or residential tiles or purpose designed granulated rubber tiles.

These tiles have inherent weaknesses:

  • highly porous and retain burnt and unburnt powder increasing the risk of fire and explosion in a ballistics environment

  • certain tiles can include a silica base which becomes airborne when shot.

TCRT has the solution to keep you safely on target for longer.

THE SOLUTION

TCRT acoustic tiles are made from Linagard® Ballistics FR™, a highly-durable, fire retardant rubber, with a range of advanced attributes:

  • Fire retardant (laboratory certified)

  • Sound dampening both inside and outside the range

  • Washable and smooth surface reduces the Retention of burnt and unburnt powder

  • Lower total cost of ownership than traditional acoustic tiles

  • Utilizes wall and roof fitting systems allowing positioning on vertical and horizontal surfaces

  • Removable for inspection of control surfaces

  • Available in a range of colors

  • White tile shows itinerant shot instantly.


FIRE RETARDANT BALLISTIC CURTAIN

THE FACTS

Eliminating the risk of ricochet and fire is of critical importance in all live fire training environments.

Metal surfaces in target zones increase the risk of ricochet and range operators use an array of industrial products to manage this risk and the risk of fire.

Typical ballistic curtains include structural sheathing, belted rubber [FRAS] and hot and cold vulcanized rubber. Each of these have vulnerabilities including:

  • high flammability

  • poor durability

  • material mass loss when shot

  • high total cost of ownership.

Many also require complicated and expensive mounting systems.

THE SOLUTION

TCRT ballistic curtains are made from Linagard® Ballistics FR™, the only rubber purpose designed for live fire environments:

  • Highly durable and cost effective

  • Eliminates ricochet risk associated with steel targets

  • Supported by a range of TCRT hanging and mounting systems for ease of inspection and maintenance

  • Extreme stretch of 833% exceeds any homogenous fireretardant range curtain by at least 100%

  • Low duro (softness) provides increased life span

  • Multiple colors and custom widths to suit range and user requirements, creating immersive shoot house range environments

  • Can be used with a variety of bullet calibers

  • Recyclable, cleaner, safer, and environmentally sound.
