If you need to seal, protect, or temporarily close an opening, foam bungs provide a simple, lightweight solution.
Foam bungs are foam components designed to fit securely into holes, tubes, cavities, containers, and other openings. Also known as foam plugs, they can help prevent the ingress of dust, dirt, moisture, and debris. They are often used to protect products during storage and transit, or to temporarily seal equipment and components during manufacturing processes.
At Polyformes, we manufacture custom foam bungs from high-quality closed-cell foam in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and materials to suit your product and application. So whether you require a simple plug, a tapered bung, or a complex custom design, we can produce the right solution for your requirements.
The benefits of foam bungs include:
A foam bung is a shaped piece of foam used to fill or seal an opening. Foam bungs are commonly used to protect products, prevent contamination, or temporarily close holes, tubes, and cavities during manufacturing or shipping.
Foam bungs are used across a variety of industries to protect products during storage and transit, seal openings during manufacturing, prevent contamination, and prevent dust, dirt, and moisture from entering parts or assemblies.
Foam bungs are commonplace across industries such as medical, pharmaceutical, marine, manufacturing, construction, engineering, and packaging. They can be adapted to suit almost any application where an opening needs to be protected or sealed.
Foam bungs typically use closed-cell polyethylene foams. These materials – such as Plastazote®, Evazote®, and Microlen – offer excellent durability, water and chemical resistance, and cushioning properties
