POLYPRENE®
Polyprene® is a specially formulated copolymer sheetstock material used in the construction of fire service products. The resin used in making Polyprene® is a combination of polyethylene and polypropylene polymers which results in stronger physical properties in either high or low temperature applications. Polyprene® will not rust, corrode, dent, crack, chip or peel. Polyprene® welds are impervious to microbial attack and meet FDA approval for food grade surfaces. Also, Polyprene® is lighter than steel, aluminum or fiberglass in the same application.

The Advantages of Polyprene®
Impact, Heat and Chemical
- Will not rust, corrode, crack, chip or peel
- Superb impact resistance due to unique combination of strength and flexibility.
- Eliminates shock transfer through the body in the event of high speed collision, Keeping damage to a minimum.
- Resistant to damage from high heat exposure
-
Polyprene material is welded at 707° F (375° C) with pressure and at a slow speed of 12" per minute.
- Vehicle paint will ignite and tires will melt before body is affected.
- PolyBilt" bodies are easy to clean after exposure to hazardous materials or when used in decontamination operations.
Practical and Financial
- Lighter weight than steel or aluminum truck bodies
- Integral tank design means larger compartments and more water.
- Lighter body so carries more equipment.
- Lower center of gravity, giving safer driving.
- Custom designed to meet your specific needs.
- Easily recycled at the end of its life.
- High impact resistance - less down time.
- Long operational life up to 40 years.
-
Low risk with a limited lifetime warranty.

- Zero maintenance for rust or corrosion. Does not crack, chip or peel.
Technology and Production
Bent EDge™
What is Bent Edge? It is a patented process, exclusive to PolyBilt, of heating and bending sheet stock to form a continuous, seamless corner void of any joints, therefore eliminating the chance for leaks in these areas. Simply put, there is no stronger way to build a poly fire truck tank than with Bent Edge.
Extrusion Welding
20' Precision Router
Pro Poly of America, Inc. uses a 20 foot precision router which enables us to run sheets of polyprene the neccesary lengths with as few seems as possible. This technology provides for a stronger, safer design that lessens the chance for any leaks that could result in system failure.
