Bullet containment material
TARCon™ is a safe, cost-effective bullet containment material that can safely absorb impacts from thousands of rounds of ammunition. The material is ideal for the construction of live-fire shooting complexes, bullet traps, backstops, protective walls and barriers.
The density of TARCon is one half of conventional concrete, with no coarse aggregate. Fibres are used to increase the material's strength. It can also be moulded in to most shapes, and then painted.
TARCon is an environmentally-friendly material. The closed-cell concrete composition provides a dry, alkaline medium for bullet containment. This alkalinity results in very low amounts of lead leaching, with little or no hazardous lead dust when a round strikes the surface. The material is noncombustible and will neither corrode nor rot.
