Blast Containment Receptacles
At Protexo, we deliver advanced explosive containment and mitigation solutions through our partnership with Mistral Inc., a global leader in blast management technology. Our product range includes specialized Golan’s, Total Containment Vessels (TCVs), and Blast Containment Receptacles (BCRs) — all engineered to neutralize explosive threats safely and effectively.
Security in public spaces needs to be effective without creating an environment that feels restrictive. Mistral Blast Containment Receptacles provide protection against explosive threats while maintaining the familiar appearance and function of a standard waste receptacle.
BCR systems are designed to contain the effects of an explosion and provide 360 degree protection against blast effects and fragmentation. Their discreet design allows them to be integrated into busy public environments without drawing unnecessary attention to the security measures in place.
BCRs are suitable for airports, railway stations, stadiums, government buildings and other locations with high visitor numbers. They provide an additional layer of protection in places where suspicious packages or explosive devices could otherwise pose a serious risk to the public.

Standards & Compliance
At Protexo, all our blast management solutions, including Mistral’s Golan’s, TCVs, and BCRs, are developed and selected with strict adherence to international safety standards and explosive safety regulations.
PGS-32 (Publicatiereeks Gevaarlijke Stoffen 32)
PGS-32 is a Dutch guideline that governs the safe storage and handling of explosive substances and articles. It sets requirements for containment, blast mitigation, and safety distances in both civilian and military contexts. Mistral’s blast containment units are engineered to meet or exceed PGS-32 recommendations, supporting safe deployment across Dutch and European critical infrastructure.
DDESB (Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board)
The DDESB provides safety standards for the U.S. Department of Defense concerning the siting, handling, storage, and transport of explosives. Mistral’s products are designed and tested to align with DDESB Technical Papers and guidelines, ensuring they meet stringent military safety criteria for blast resistance, fragment containment, and hazard zoning.
By aligning with both PGS-32 and DDESB standards, Protexo ensures that your blast containment solutions are fully compliant, field-proven, and operationally safe—whether you're protecting civilian infrastructure or operating in high-risk tactical environments.
