Shelter door systems

Foam aluminum composite reduces the weight of shelter doors from 90 tons to 18 tons, and shortens the open-close cycle from 15 minutes to just 3 minutes. This dramatically improves operational readiness and response speed.

Blast-proof bottom panels

Foam aluminum is used in composite structures with armored steel and thin plates to form explosion-proof floors. These can protect vehicles from mines and IEDs. Common in tank carriers, missile trucks, riot control vehicles, etc., providing both structural safety and crew protection.

Composite armor systems

Foam aluminum is combined with ceramic plates, aramid fibers, and high-strength steel to form new-generation armor systems. Its energy absorption disperses kinetic energy from projectiles, reducing armor deformation and preventing penetration. This balances lightweight structure and high ballistic resistance.
