Foam Solutions for Australian Correctional Facilities, Prisons & Youth Detention

For more than 30 years, Foamco has supplied Australia’s correctional, detention and protective service facilities with engineered foam that meets the most rigorous safety and durability standards.
 

Our locally manufactured polyurethane foam systems are built to comply with the fire-resistance, anti-tamper and antimicrobial specifications used in state and federal correctional environments, from adult prisons and youth justice centres to police custody facilities and immigration detention.
