General Plastics Signs Distributor Agreement With Aerontec

by Plast World Plastic News,Business, Trad fair Delegation General Plastics Manufacturing Company has named Aerontec its distributor of high-density polyurethane foam tooling and modeling board in South Africa and surrounding regions. Under the agreement, Aerontec will supply customers with General Plastics’ LAST-A-FOAM® brand FR-4500, FR-4700 high-temperature and FR 7100 product lines.

“We are very pleased to welcome Aerontec to our international distributor team,” announced President Bruce Lind. “They were selected due to their understanding of the composite marketplace and the competitive products offered in South Africa.”

Lind also cited strong synergy with Aerontec’s portfolio of tooling, design and prototyping products, and their distribution of Foam-CombSM series used as gap filler within the airliner passenger cabin. The new distribution agreement accelerates delivery to customers in the region while reducing shipping costs. Customers will benefit from responsive service and ready technical expertise to help them select, spec and utilize the right LAST-A-FOAM products for their particular application and project:

LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4500 Tooling Board is a family of tough, high-density polyurethane substrates useful in making master models, mold and foundry patterns, and composite tooling – applications in which a uniform, grain-free, dimensionally stable, machineable material is desired.

LAST-A-FOAM® FR-4700 High-Temperature Tooling Board is a rigid hybrid that accommodates temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius. It is designed for prototype machining, prepreg composite layup tooling, vacuum-form tooling, tool proofing, pattern making and master model making.

LAST-A-FOAM® FR-7100 polyurethane foam offers a fine, consistent cell structure that is easily finished or painted using virtually any material. It is suitable for use as a composite core in a wide variety of applications.

“We look for distribution partners like Aerontec who provide true service excellence, not simply warehouse ability,” said Lind. “As an extension of our company, we count on our distributors to know their markets and stay current on technology such as Aerontec’s recently designed computer-controlled, rigid-foam-cutting machine, which can cut to an accuracy of up to 200 microns.”
