Impact & Blast Energy Absorption to protect critical equipment

Kinetica™ is a lightweight syntactic foam created by bonding together millions of engineered composite spheres. The result is a porous, chemically inert material with closely controlled crush strength and isotopic energy absorption.

Kinetica™ works with the full range of Matrix’s macrosphere technology, varying density, sphere diameter and reinforcement fibre to customise the final material properties. Kinetica™ can be tailored to meet your specific requirements.

Kinetica™ can be blended on-site or at Matrix’s facility using our custom designed mixing system. With only the lightest touch of active chemistry, free flowing Kinetica™ can fill an almost limitless volume without fear of runaway exothermic reactions. Using Matrix's custom designed mixing system, it can be cast in-situ to almost limitless volumes.
