One of the best foams for insulation, Neoprene is a closed cell, durable, sponge like rubber. It’s thermal and moisture insulation qualities make it ideal for an insulator when combined with its form fitting characteristics. This flexible foam is commonly used for athletic padding, sealers and gaskets.
Cross-linked Polyethylene foam is a water resistant, closed cell foam that has a smooth feel. Its ability to be thermoformed or compression molded allow it to be an ideal material for a wide variety of products. Cross-linked polyethylene is resilient, extremely buoyant and is great for shock absorption. Common uses of cross-linked polyethylene include medical [...]
Polyethylene foam, unlike reticulated polyurethane, is a close cell material. This very lightweight, cost effective foam is extremely durable and shock absorbent. Ideal for packaging, polyethylene foam is resilient, strong, and can dampen the effects of vibration. Polyethylene foam also encompasses insulation properties and has a high resistance to chemicals and moisture. Buoyancy is another [...]
Reticulated Polyurethane Foam A widely used and popular foam is the reticulated polyurethane. Reticulated foams are open cell and have a wide range of porosity. From 10 pores per inch to 100 pores per inch, this light weight foam is popular for filtration and is commonly referred to as “filter foam”. Polyurethane foam is thermally [...]
