Poly-Storm™ - Residential & Commercial Construction

Protect lives, homes, and communities from nature’s most destructive forces.

Core Protection Solutions

• Storm shelters
• Blast-resistant inserts
• Whole-room systems (walls, doors, roofing, anchorage)
• Tested to withstand and mitigate damage from:
• Flooding, surges, and surface waves
• Earthquakes
• Hurricanes
• EF-5 tornadoes (250 mph winds)
• Fires
• Terrorist attacks

Proven Performance & Testing

Poly-Storm™ panels meet FEMA 320/361 and ICC 500 standards.

Tested by the Department of Homeland Security for:

• Missile impact resistance
• Wind pressure durability
• Full-room integrity (doors, walls, roof, anchors)

Residential Shelter Innovations

• EF-5 Tornado-Resistant Walls & Doors
• Lightweight, thin panels
• Superior to carbon fiber systems (CFRP/CF/E)
• Self-healing lock mechanism absorbs repeated impacts
• Can be disguised as a home office, closet, or entertainment room

Triple-Threat Protection: Seismic, Tornado, Moisture

• Multi-Hazard Mitigation System
• Validated under ASCE-07, FEMA P695, and IBC 2018 for:
• High seismicity
• EF-5 tornadoes
• Flooding
• Benefits include:
• Reduced timber and fastener usage
• Lower inter-story drift and soft story collapse risk
• Enhanced ductility and energy dissipation
• Controlled moisture absorption via thermodynamic processing

Multi-Functional Safe Room Design

Combines protection against:

• Tornado debris (EF-5 rated)
• Seismic vibrations
• Flooding and moisture intrusion

Seismic Retrofitting for Concrete Structures

PowerPolymer Coating System:

• Stabilizes cracks in damaged R/C shear walls
• Doubles lateral load resistance
• Increases ductility and confinement
• Validated through bi-axial seismic testing

Tornado Safe Room Construction

• Patent-Protected Inlay Technology
• ¼-inch thin chemical layer developed over 13 years
• Withstands EF-5 debris impacts
• Tested at Texas Tech’s National Wind Institute
• Meets FEMA 320/361 and ICC 500 standards

Poly-Storm™ Applications:

• Wall panels: Inlay placed between plywood layers
• Door panels: Inlay between steel and veneer
• Cost-effective alternative to carbon fiber and steel systems

Test Results

Our C-IDA System Verses Carbon-fiber Panels:

• Poly-Storm™ C-IDA system: Pass
• Carbon-fiber panels: Fail
• Door panels with C-IDA: Pass (repercussed missile)

Ballistic & Blast Protection + Energy Efficiency

• Commercial Tilt-Up Wall Applications
• Ideal for military and large-scale commercial use
• Enhances debris resistance and flexural strength
• Reduces thermal bridging and improves insulation (R-10 for ½-inch inlay vs R-5/inch for XPS)

Advantages:

• No transverse reinforcement needed
• Eliminates thermal bridging
• Saves 5–20% in energy costs
• Ballistic resistant (.308 caliber)
• R-15 insulation performance
• Panels remain intact after 250-mph debris impact
