If you need to create a gap between surfaces or components, or keep products separated, foam spacers offer a simple and effective solution.
Foam spacers are washers, rings, or other parts that maintain a safe distance between two surfaces, helping prevent damage during storage and transit. Foam spacers also reduce friction between parts, absorb any vibrations, and provide excellent cushioning. Their reliable performance and lightweight design make them popular for handling glass panels and metal components, as well as for use in electronic equipment and manufactured products.
At Polyformes, we manufacture spacer foam to your exact requirements using a variety of closed-cell foam materials. We can produce foam spacers in the specific shapes, sizes, and thicknesses you need, with the right level of strength, cushioning, and durability for your application.
The benefits of foam spacers include:

A foam spacer is a piece of foam used to create a gap between two surfaces or components, helping maintain separation while providing cushioning and protection. Foam spacer blocks can be suitable for either safely transporting separate items or for use as washers or rings between components.
Foam spacers have a soft surface that helps prevent abrasion to the surfaces they come into contact with. They are popular for transporting painted, coated, polished, and or other delicate parts or components.
Foam spacers are typically manufactured from a range of closed-cell polyethylene foams, including Plastazote® and other specialist materials. The most suitable option depends on the level of support, protection, and durability required.
Foam spacers are suitable for separating products and surfaces during storage, transport, assembly and manufacturing. They are often used to protect glass panels, doors, metal parts, electronic equipment, packaging, and finished products from damage. They can also take the form of washers to separate components of assembled parts or products.
