Need info on older SMP Bankers Treasury

Paul Kusnierz

Was hoping someone would know the answer to this. I just picked up an earlier SMP Bankers Treasury safe. I am familiar with the TDR material and the security concrete but have not been able to find any information on Abrasadour Plates, If anybody knows what the material is and what its purpose was i would greatly appreciate it
Thanks in advance, Paul

SMP didnt make a Bankers Treasury, they only did a Bankers.
Much earlier SLS made Bankers and Treasury’s but with totally different barrier materials.

The Abrasadour plates are hard faced- just like Stellite or Cobalarc alloy, so it’s a hard facing compound acting as a barrier against abrasive rather than impact attack.
