As manufacturers and suppliers to the UK Ministry of Defence and a multitude of defence and aerospace companies worldwide, Polyformes is geared up to produce bespoke foam packaging for military applications. Examples include:
- Foam cushioning and cradles for missile, electronics housing and transportation
- Helicopter rotor blade spacers in high density Plastazote foam
- Explorer cases in a variety of sizes that are waterproof and rugged
- Rifle cases with foam inserts for sniper rifles
- Nightsight cases complete with cleaning and maintenance tool kits within foam inserts
In many military applications, often packaged items are immediately committed to long-term storage. Munitions and firearms are stockpiled for use and are quality checked periodically. Such items must not deteriorate, even during very long-term storage, and must be ready to perform immediately when or if needed. The foams that we use are ideal advanced military packaging materials for long-term protection. There are no corrosion issues as the blowing agent used to expand Plastazote is pure nitrogen, which has no corrosive potential.
Our sister company, PSP (Performance Solution Packaging) are military suppliers of composite packs & wooden crates.
At PSP, full turnkey operations are undertaken, including assembly, kitting and vendor managed inventories. With Ministry of Defence DR-14 accreditation, PSP are authorised to design military packaging and create the necessary SPIS sheets in order to manufacture to the highest standards. These same standards are taken into other sectors when producing timber and ply crates, solid board or corrugated export packs, specialised pallet work and industrial and commercial flight cases.
