Quick View
Polyethylene Foam (PE)

Polyethylene foam is a lightweight, durable, closed-cell material known for its excellent shock absorption, moisture resistance, and versatility. It’s ideal for protective packaging, insulation, and custom fabrication applications.

Polyurethane Foam (PU)

Polyurethane foam offers exceptional flexibility and comfort with excellent cushioning and energy absorption. Its adaptable structure makes it ideal for protective packaging, furniture, bedding, and noise-reduction solutions.

Expanded Polypropelene (EPP)

EPP foam is a resilient, closed-cell polypropylene foam offering high energy absorption, thermal insulation, and chemical resistance. It is commonly used in automotive components, protective packaging, and returnable transport systems.

Reticulated/Filter Foam

Reticulated foam is an open-cell polyurethane foam designed for high airflow and effective filtration. Its porous structure allows air, water, and liquids to pass freely while capturing particulates, making it ideal for filtration, ventilation, and acoustic applications.

Polystyrene (EPS)

EPS foam is a lightweight, rigid material that provides reliable insulation and impact protection. It is commonly used for protective packaging, thermal insulation, and molded components where strength, cushioning, and cost efficiency are required.

Crosslink Foam (XLPE)

Crosslinked polyethylene foam is a closed-cell material known for its fine cell structure, durability, and enhanced performance characteristics. It offers excellent shock absorption, thermal insulation, and resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion. Crosslinked foam is commonly used in Class A surface protective packaging, insulation, medical and automotive components, and applications requiring consistent density, clean appearance, and long-term reliability.
