The self-sealing fuel tank is designed for military vehicles deployed in advanced theaters of operations and at risk of being subjected to intense fire. Simtech’s self-sealing fuel tank prevents major leaks due to ballistic impacts during these operations. Our self-sealing fuel tank is designed by applying a thin layer of polymer directly on the tank to be protected. This self-sealing protection can be applied to both rigid and flexible surfaces: polyethylene, aluminum, fiberglass, etc. Self-sealing tanks are effective against 9 mm, 5.56, 7.62 and 12.7 mm ammunition. Use / User Defense industry: military vehicle manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, armored vehicles, trucks, helicopters, ships, tanks. End user: Armed forces, special forces, police and gendarmerie. Technical characteristics of self-sealing fuel tanks The supply of a self-sealing fuel tank includes R&D, manufacturing and adaptation of the solution to the shape and size of the selected tank. The design office takes into account the characteristics of the tank (neck, sharp angles, fasteners, etc.). Simtech takes care of the complete application of the self-sealing protection by trained operators. Whether the fuel tanks are manufactured by Simtech or another supplier, they are delivered as turnkey solutions. NATO-certified ballistic laboratories guarantee the characteristics of Simtech’s self-sealing fuel tanks. Simtech’s self-sealing fuel tank is currently the LIGHTEST and the thinnest on the market. It provides optimal fuel tank protection while optimizing the overall weight of the vehicle, and adding only a limited amount of extra thickness to the initial shape of the tank.
