SAN DIEGO, CA – Rhino Linings USA, Inc. has joined forces with High Impact Technologies (HIT) in creating a revolutionary new protective lining for U.S. military forces. BattleJacket is a self-sealing skin on fuel tankers that reduces the threat of insurgent attacks by using a unique, engineered multilayer technology. This proprietary technology allows penetration of a bullet or other ballistic projectile (exact-details are restricted), and after penetration, a complete seal is formed around the puncture. The vehicle is left fully functional with no leaks, preventing possible fuel loss, vehicle explosion, or loss of troop lives.

BattleJacket works as a second skin to almost any fuel tank, and it provides protection in most climates. Other commercial and industrial uses for BattleJacket include protection of railcars, pipelines, boat fuel tanks, and aboveground fuel storage facilities.
