Only the most durable materials are selected for military applications.  Preferred polymers include polyurethane casting materials and foams that exhibit a variety of properties such as dimensional accuracy and stability, impact resistance, hydrophobicity and good insulating abilities.  Applications for polyurethanes include molding protective cases and housings, insulating electronics, casting strong and resilient training aids, forming shipping nests and padding, and producing sound- and vibration-dampened vehicle panels.

Innovative Polymers polyurethanes, formulated to perform in tough applications for all branches of the Armed Services, include:

• Shore A Elastomers are low viscosity, easy to handle systems that produce flexible parts with good tear strength.
• Advanced Shore D Polyurethanes are abrasion resistant with various systems featuring rapid gel times and high flexural modulus or high tensile strength.
• High Performance Polyurethanes exhibit TPO- and ABS-like characteristics for parts requiring combinations of high impact strength, high heat resistance, flame retardance or high flexural modulus.
• Polyurethane Foams include soft 9 lb. density materials for protective padding as well as more rigid, 4-6 lb. density polyurethanes that are ideal for sound and vibration reduction.
