A school board, a bank, an embassy or a police department asks how to harden their building. The old answer was tear out walls and rebuild with steel plate. BallistiCrete is a plaster mix with ceramic-like hardness — trowel it over the existing wall, paint it, and nobody knows it's there. H.P. White Laboratory tested and passed it at NIJ Level III and NIJ Level IV.

BallistiCrete is a plaster mix with exceptional ballistic impact resistance and superior, ceramic-like strength and hardness. It forms a strong bond to many substrate materials and is environmentally friendly while delivering strength, durability and economy.
Compressive strength is over 8,500 PSI — typically 9,000+ PSI per ASTM C109. Working time is about one hour at 60–70°F and complete curing takes place in five days. H.P. White Laboratory tested and passed it at NIJ Level III and NIJ Level IV. After paint, the owner's insurance carrier and security team are the only ones who know it's there.

H.P. White-tested against a range of handgun, rifle and armor-piercing rounds — up to and including .50 caliber Desert Eagle and full-auto fire.
Architectural specifications, technical data, application guides, and warranty — the documents your architect, GC, and AHJ will ask for.
It was tested and passed by H.P. White Laboratory at NIJ Level III and NIJ Level IV — the level that addresses armor-piercing rounds.
7.62×39 AK and 7.62×51 NATO, .30-06, .30AP, .40 caliber, 9mm, .357 magnum, .44 and .45 magnum, multi-shot Uzi automatic fire, and even Desert Eagle .50 caliber rounds.
No. BallistiCrete is troweled over existing walls — no demolition or structural work — and once painted it's invisible, looking like an ordinary wall.
It has compressive strength over 8,500 PSI, typically 9,000+ PSI per ASTM C109, with ceramic-like hardness.
Yes. It's a noncombustible building material per ASTM E136, has zero flame spread and smoke developed per ASTM E84, resists mold and mildew per ASTM G21, and is GREENGUARD product-quality tested.
