Origins and Evolution

CEASEFIRE™ began as a government secret...

The original CEASEFIRE™ was developed for Project Gemini, the second human spaceflight program of NASA, which was conducted in order to further advance space technique for the upcoming Apollo missions. The fire-retardant technology was used to coat vital areas of the spacecraft to prevent flame spread.

Whoever didn’t want a bomb to explode?

CEASEFIRE™ was later used in bomber jets as a coating around bombs, in order to prevent them from exploding in case of a jet crash. Typically, a bomb would go off in under four minutes in the event of a crash – hardly enough time for the pilot to escape. With CEASEFIRE™, the bombs would resist explosion for 12 minutes, a time with which military personnel were quite pleased and which saved the lives of countless pilots.

CEASEFIRE protecting bombs - who would have thought?

Commercialization

In 1999, CEASEFIRE™ was released from contract with the government, and was commercialized. Today, the technology is in its third generation, now more powerful and versatile than ever. It is and always has been engineered, produced, and warehoused in the USA - a fine piece of American innovation.
