Safeguarding Payloads
From the depths of the ocean to the vast expanse of space, our foams are at the heart of critical defense systems. Our flexible, open-cell polyurethane foams are engineered to absorb immense impact energy, making them ideal for cushioning payloads. They have been used extensively in vibration damping applications, shock isolation systems, underground missile silo protection, and submarine launch tubes.?LAST-A-FOAM® products have proven their worth over the years in programs such as Minuteman, Peacekeeper, and Trident.
Foam Solutions for Every Mission
Sensitive military payloads such as munitions, electronics, and explosives utilize our flexible and rigid foam at various densities as protective dunnage. Depending on the requirements and design, these flame-retardant, impact-absorbing lightweight structures can hold their payloads snugly or simply keep them separated from each other within their environment. From high-density, rigid foam for extremely heavy or metallic structures to low-density flexible foams used for munitions and electronics, General Plastics can custom-formulate your dunnage packages.
We are certified to ISO 9001:2015/AS9100D and ITAR-compliant, with a segregated, controlled-access assembly room that can be utilized for military parts.
