Blast Foam

Blast Foam (TL9)

Ballistic foam forms a non-conductive polymer-ceramic blanket. Designed to be sprayed over a bomb, it hardens in 3 seconds and forms a thick layer that can absorb explosions, contain fragments, and sterilize chemical, biological, and radiological agents. Each second of spray can coat a square yard, providing ablative DR 40 against crushing and burning damage, and ablative DR 20 against other types of damage. If the foam contains the blast, it is also treated as sealed with radiation PF 5. Each square yard of foam weighs 10 lbs.

Anyone completely coated with the foam may suffocate; he can inflict his normal thrusting damage on the foam to try to escape. A canister of foam that can cover three square yards is $100, 30 lbs. LC3.
