Maximum Protection Through Advanced Tank Coating Technology
WELP Group offers advanced self-sealing fuel tank solutions designed to protect vehicles operating in high-risk environments. Our technology reliably prevents fuel leakage after ballistic impact while significantly reducing the risk of fire and explosion.
How It Works: Multi-Layer Self-Sealing Protection
Our tank protection system is based on a sophisticated multi-layer structure:
- Intermediate self-sealing layers instantly close entry and exit points caused by ballistic impact
- External flame-retardant coating minimizes ignition risk when exposed to heat or fire
- Retention of the original fuel tank – no need for complete redesign or replacement
This combination creates a highly effective protection system that automatically seals leaks and maintains vehicle operability.
Key Benefits at a Glance
- Self-sealing technology – automatic sealing upon impact
- Minimal additional weight for maximum efficiency
- No reduction in fuel capacity
- Integration into existing tank systems
- Flame-retardant outer coating for enhanced fire protection
- Ballistically tested by independent institutions
Protection Performance
Our systems are designed to protect against:
- All common handgun threats
- Calibers such as 7.62 × 39 mm and .308 Win under realistic test conditions
Higher protection levels and customized solutions are available upon request.
Technology in Detail
The self-sealing effect is achieved through specially engineered elastomeric materials that expand upon contact with fuel, instantly sealing punctures. Even in the case of multiple hits, the sealing performance remains effective.
Optional system enhancements include:
- Explosion-suppressant materials (foam systems)
- Additional reinforcement layers for increased ballistic resistance
Comparable technologies have already proven their effectiveness in military applications,
offering a decisive safety advantage in both attack scenarios and accidents.
Typical Applications
- Armored vehicles (civilian & military)
- Security and government vehicles
- Special-purpose vehicles in high-risk regions
- Logistics and transport vehicles requiring enhanced protection
