This video depicts one of several tests nuclear containers undergo to test their strength, durability, and resistance to fire and water. This is a drop test where the container is dropped from various locations unto specific surfaces.
General Plastics' LAST-A-FOAM® R-9300 Continuous Insulation Blocks support heavy structural loads while extending a building insulation envelope from the roof to the foundation. General Plastics' R-9300 LAST-A-FOAM® Continuous Insulation Block Series is available through CSI of Virginia, Inc. As our distributor, CSI is responsive and knowledgeable in the application of these products for their intended use, with staff possessing solid backgrounds in civil engineering.

Dynamic drop tests measure the resistance of material relative to an applied force. From this, compressive properties are determined.
LAST-A-FOAM FR-3700: The preferred foam for Type A / Type B nuclear waste containers.
This material has proven to be the most effective and enduring insulating liner for nuclear material applications and for transporting extremely hazardous waste. This test demonstrates how LAST-A-FOAM absorbs energy upon impact and protects the cargo.
Rigid molded foam parts are cost-effective and made to shape, producing less waste. Watch our video to see how we do it.

Quality Assurance is a way of life at General Plastics, and it is what supports our testing capabilities. Seven decades of performing quality assurance to the most exacting standards for our own products, has given us the ability to perform physical properties and flammability tests for other companies, under those same exacting standards.
Produced from the same WSF-1121 flexible foam as our molded armrests pads, these covers hold the dual heads-up display and the overhead panel, which houses various electronics that control systems throughout the plane. Due to the foam's self-skinning characteristic, designers have artistic freedom in the desired texture and color.
General Plastics' Foam-Comb is a lightweight honeycomb-urethane gap filler used in aerospace and aviation interior fabrications. This open-cell polyurethane product couples our flexible foam with Nomex® honeycomb material, where the resulting material - the Foam-Comb - is stronger than the honeycomb, but adds little weight. It also provides a flexible cushion between panels that repeatedly expand and contract, reducing vibration and maintaining a seal between the surfaces.
