Foam Engineering

Using our state-of-the-art CNC machines and CAD/CAM software our team works hand in hand with you to design and produce cost effective solutions. We also specialized in volume supplies and tender fulfilment. From sensitive and expensive kit to industrial parts, our chemically inert and other range of foam products have been catering to the needs of thousands of client’s world over.

Foam Sheets

We have the region’s largest inventory of Plastazote foam together with various other grades of foam sheets in different thicknesses and densities to suit customer specific requirements. We also specialize in construction joint fillers, seals, gaskets, die cut inserts, adhesive backed foam tapes and so on.

Plastazote & Evazote

Zotefoams with their unique 3 stage nitrogen expansion manufacturing process offer foams with high purity, consistent density, controlled cell size and very low odour. These family of foams outperform other grades of foam manufactured from the same polymers and density. There are no chemical residues or remnants of blowing agents that potentially cause corrosion, unpleasant odor or impairment of physical performance. Vibrant colours and various cell size make these aesthetically appealing foams. Nontoxic, impact absorbing, lightweight, firm and rigid foams add to the impressive properties exhibited.
Whilst LDPE is by far and away the largest polymer used, HDPE, EVA, Metallocene based polymers compliment the range. densities range from 15kgs/m3- 115kgs/m3. Additives to the process allow grades to have flammability and conductive or static dissipative properties. The unique manufacturing process permits new polymers to be foamed. PVDF, Polyamide (nylon 6 & 66) and Pebax are all relatively new polymers that are being expanded into foam blocks under the trade names of Zotek F, Zotek N and Pebaxfoam. Zotek F (PVDF) is an inherently flame-retardant foam which releases very little heat and only small amounts of smoke during combustion. It exhibits high temperature and high chemical resistance. Zotek N (Polyamide) is the world’s first nylon foam with temperature resistance in excess of 200C. excellent resistance to hydrocarbons-oils, greases, alcohols and ketones. Pebaxfoam is a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) foam that is closed cell and lightweight. Its outstanding mechanical properties offer exceptional impact absorbing properties.

Ethafoam

Closed cell uncross linked polyethylene foams are 100% recyclable and offer excellent value for all your packaging requirements. When EPS is unsuitable, Un cross linked PE foams prove their worth. Ethafoam is a high performance extruded un laminated plank, premium brand product. Recognised the world over in flightcase hardware, military, electronic, automotive packaging, they range in density from 25kgs/m3- 144kgs/m3 density. Antistatic and flame-retardant variants are available in certain densities, with black and white colours predominating.

Open Cell Polyurethane Foams

Our extensive range of Polyurethane open cell foams complement our closed cell product range. These being the least expensive, whilst offering suitable integrity for the packaging of fragile items. Various densities, colours and hardness of foams are available combined with the additional processing capability of supplying convoluted (eggbox) sheets, pads or die cuts.
