KEY FEATURES

INSIDE X-MAX™

Every component of X-Max™ is purposefully selected and integrated to help manage thermal exposure, dissipate forces, and maintain performance when conditions are at their most demanding.

01
Auxetic Fabric Outer Layer
Proprietary auxetic geometry engineered to absorb, redistribute, and dissipate energy under load.
02
High Temperature Insulation Up to 3000°F
NUTEC's advanced insulation technology provides exceptional thermal resistance, helping contain extreme heat and reduce thermal transfer in demanding environments where performance cannot be compromised.
03
Blast Rated to 60 PSI
Independently tested and validated to withstand blast overpressures up to 60 psi, X-Max™ is engineered to help mitigate blast effects and reduce the transmission of damaging forces during high-consequence events.
04
High Temperature Bonding System
A specialized high-temperature bonding system securely integrates the protective layers of X-Max™, maintaining structural integrity and performance in extreme operating conditions where conventional bonding methods may fail.

Detect & Engage

When a thermal event occurs, X-Max™ immediately responds through its integrated protection layers. The system engages at the point of exposure, helping address both thermal and mechanical effects before they can escalate throughout the surrounding environment.

Contain Heat

Leveraging NUTEC's advanced high-temperature insulation, X-Max™ helps contain extreme heat and slow thermal propagation. By limiting heat transfer to adjacent assets and systems, the platform is designed to reduce the potential for cascading failures.

Dissipate Forces

Built on AFT's proprietary auxetic technology, X-Max™ absorbs, redistributes, and mitigates force transmission generated during an event. This energy management capability helps minimize secondary effects that can contribute to additional damage.

Protect Critical Operations

Working together as a unified protection system, X-Max™ combines thermal containment with force mitigation to help safeguard people, protect critical assets, and support operational continuity when reliability matters most.
