Defence Industry Plastics

Dotmar Engineering Plastics is the leading supplier throughout Australia and New Zealand in Engineering Plastics and Polyurethane products to the Defence Industry. Thermoplastics are increasing being used in defence applications due to their long-term durability, impact resistance, toughness, flame and smoke resistance, ballistic resistance and optimum performance in harsh environments where extreme variations in operating conditions are frequently required. Dotmar has a long history with the Australian Defence Industry in providing Plastic and Polyurethane solutions to meet the intense demands required by the defence department.
