If you’re involved in the security or emergency response sectors, highly durable protective cases and precision-engineered foam inserts are essential to your success.
At Polyformes, we provide the perfect solution for protecting your critical surveillance and communication systems – ranging from delicate transmitters and receivers housed in die-cut foam pads to full hook-and-line kits secured in lifetime-guaranteed, waterproof Explorer Cases. We also use lightweight, energy-absorbing Plastazote® foam to manufacture durable training mats, ergonomic body protection padding, and essential marine safety equipment, such as buoyancy vests and rescue cradles for Search and Rescue units.
We also understand the high pressure of the environments in which your team operates. As such, our expert designers, technical expertise, and in-house conversion equipment enable us to create bespoke foam components and transit solutions tailored exactly to your operational requirements.
Several of the high-performance technical foams used at Polyformes – specifically Plastazote®, ARPLANK, Ethafoam, Evazote®, Stratocell, and Supazote® – are extensively used across the security industry, military, and emergency services (such as police, fire, and ambulance/EMS).
Please note that this list is not exhaustive. If you cannot see your specific application listed, please contact us to see how we can assist.

Key benefits and properties
Primary security and emergency services applications
Plastazote®
Closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene (PE)
Non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and chemically inert; highly durable; lightweight, and easy to clean/disinfect; thermoformable for custom shapes.
ARPLANK
Isotropic expanded polyethylene (EPE) or expanded polypropylene (EPP)
Highly resilient with repeatable multi-impact cushioning; 100% recyclable and highly chemical resistant.
Ethafoam
Closed-cell, non-cross-linked expanded polyethylene (EPE)
Excellent multi-strike shock absorption and vibration dampening; available in flame-retardant and anti-static (ESD) grades; high load-bearing capacity.
Evazote
Closed-cell, cross-linked ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer
Tougher, softer, and more resilient than Plastazote; exceptional impact resistance and high recovery from repeated compression; highly UV and water-resistant.
Stratocell
Laminated closed-cell polyethylene (PE)
High-yield structural protection at a lower weight; cost-effective and highly flexible block styling; resistant to moisture, rot, and bacteria.
Supazote
Ultra-soft, closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene (PE)
Extremely gentle on sensitive surfaces while absorbing impact; high flexibility and aesthetic appeal.
Alongside the foam we supply, we also allow you to source a wide range of exterior packaging, cases and bags.
Our specialised expertise in manufacturing high-performance tactical foam components and rugged equipment casing inserts enables us to support the demanding readiness and asset-protection requirements of the security and emergency service sectors.
