LAST-A-FOAM® FOAMS EXCEL IN DOOR AND WINDOWS APPLICATIONS

Take advantage of the unique chemistry in General Plastics’ LAST-A-FOAM® for your door and window applications. Our rigid polyurethane foam has been proven to perform, providing you with material that is long-lasting, durable and satisfies the qualities needed for skilled craftsmanship.

All LAST-A-FOAM® polyurethane foam is formulated so it remains dimensionally stable and will not warp or bow. Due to its closed cell structure, our foams have high resistance to water absorption, and will not swell or crack when exposed to moisture. It has also been proven to retain its physical properties in long-term applications.

LAST-A-FOAM® adheres well to composite skins, and it may also be used without adhesive when bonding, for example, when curing pre-impregnated skin together with a lower density foam or molding a cured composite skin to the foam material. We offer several products that come in a wide range of densities (3 to 50 pounds per cubic foot) allowing you to choose the mechanical properties appropriate for your application, whether it be strength requirements, fire-retardant properties, machinability, grain detail, or surface finish.

As core material for entry or interior doors and garage doors, LAST-A-FOAM® polyurethane foam is an ideal substitute for wood due its resistance to rot, fire and water. It also an alternative to medium-density fiberboard (MDF) due to its strength, lighter weight and higher insulation values. The LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4600, our microcellular foam with the finest cell surface, can support window trim applications with intricate and 3-dimensional details.

LAST-A-FOAM® FR-3700 Performance Core SeriesThis flame-retardant PU foam is a CFC-free, rigid, closed-cell polyurethane foam available in densities ranging from 3 to 40 pounds per cubic foot. It exhibits a high strength-to-weight ratio due to its cross-linked resin. Because of its closed-cell structure, FR-3700 has great resistance to water absorption, and will not swell, crack, or split on exposure to water.

LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4500 Tooling Board SeriesThis high-density tooling board series is tough, grain-free and machinable. Ready-to-use with no out-gassing or cure inhibition, it is ideal for styling and design models, master models, masters for composite and layup tools, and for mold and foundry patterns. The material also serves as an excellent wood alternative for outdoor signage and display manufacturing.

All General Plastics’ products are manufactured in the United States and are free of CFCs and VOCs.

LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4600 Microcell SeriesThis fine-cell polyurethane foam is perfect for prototypes and models, 3D displays, and tooling. With our unique microcell technology, it offers the smoothest surface for fine painted finishes with minimal prep work and creates crisp edges and precise details.

LAST-A-FOAM® FR-7100 Multi-Use Core and Modeling Board SeriesEconomical, uniform foam that is easily finished or painted for low-cost core applications, hand-carved models, prototypes, CNC-machined topographical maps, composite layup tools below 200°F (93°C) and industrial patterns.

LAST-A-FOAM® can be provided in sheets and blocks or molded. When molded, exceptional grain detail mimicking the look of wood can be achieved.

Choose LAST-A-FOAM® polyurethane foam for material that is strong, consistent and supports your finishing techniques.
