Wallpaper that absorbs and reduces the shock given to the wall



Block fences that simply stack concrete blocks do not usually bother me much, but they can become weapons when it's time to go. In particular, there are cases where all the side walls collapse at the time of an earthquake, and there are also many painful accidents that people walking sideways become underlayers of block walls. Also, there are few accidents that the cars came in and the walls broke apart.

"X-Flex" wallpaper that will reduce the impact on such walls. It is touched that it can prevent the blast, how the above image is the real thing. Is it really such a thing that the blast can be prevented ...?

Details are as below.

Below is an experimental movie that shocks the wall with an iron ball. Would you really be able to reduce the damage by wallpaper alone, seeing is believing.

"X-Flex" is affixed to the wall where blocks are stacked, and we are carrying out experiments to hit iron balls.


Iron balls hit directly, but the surface of the wall just peeled off.



When looking at the slow, the wall bowls for a moment, but you can see how it is going back to after.



Another more blow. X-Flex seems to be absorbing shock well.



Without X - Flex ... ... it collapsed.



Here is a sticky X-Flex on the wall where bricks are piled up.


I firmly rebound the iron ball.


In slow view, once again the wall is bent with shocks, but then it will return to its original form.



It seems to be difficult to return to the original if you receive multiple attacks as expected. Still, it is splendid that the walls are not collapsed.



This time brick wall without wallpaper.


As expected, it was destroyed with a direct hit of the iron ball.




I do not know how hard it actually can withstand shocks, but it seems that there is no doubt that it is absorbing the shock well.
