LAST-A-FOAM FR-3700: The #1 Protective Foam for Crash and Fire in Type A/B Containers

摘要

General Plastics Manufacturing Company has protected nuclear transportation packages from fire and collision since 1971. The company's polyurethane LAST-A-FOAM~® FR-3700 Series foam combines exceptional impact mitigation with excellent fire protection properties, making it ideal for insulating and isolating radioactive nuclear materials from shock, impact and fire damage in crash situations. In particular, this foam offers proven long-term performance as an insert in radioactive material (RAM) transportation packages. 'The regulations governing RAM packages often require energy absorption of 30-foot free drops and exposure to a 1,475℉, 30-minute fire under accident conditions," explainec Rick Brown, PhD., nuclear packaginc manager at General Plastics. "Our FR-3700 series foam is one of very few materials that can support the RAM package design in mitigating both mechanical and thermal energy."
