Durable foam parts and high-performance protective products are essential for your industrial or engineering business.
At Polyformes, we supply a selection of closed-cell foams, precision-processed into essential components such as gaskets, seals, battery boxes, protective cradles, and custom parts. We can also supply a range of protective cases with bespoke foam inserts for demanding field operations, ideal for protecting offshore, subsea, and utility equipment.
Our in-house technical team also uses advanced design software and our specialised conversion capabilities to transform raw foam material into bespoke, high-performance components. By combining this material knowledge with an agile, problem-solving approach, we deliver custom-engineered solutions that integrate perfectly into your production line or critical supply chain.
Many industrial and engineering businesses rely on the performance and reliability provided by the foam materials Polyformes supplies and converts.
This applies to both foam parts and products, as well as the high performance packaging and transit protection they can be used to manufacture.
Please note that this list is not exhaustive. If you cannot see your specific application listed, please contact us to see how we can assist.
Foam
Material type
Key benefits and properties
Primary industrial and engineering applications
Plastazote®
Closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene (PE)
Closed-cell and lightweight, pure and non-toxic (nitrogen-blown), excellent chemical resistance, high buoyancy and impact absorption
ARPLANK
Isotropic expanded polyethylene (EPE) or expanded polypropylene (EPP)
High energy absorption with lower material weight; 100% recyclable and eco-friendly; multi-drop damage resistance; highly isotropic mechanical properties.
Ethafoam
Closed-cell, non-cross-linked expanded polyethylene (EPE)
High load-bearing capacity; excellent dimensional stability; resilient to repeated impacts; water and chemical resistant.
Evazote
Closed-cell, cross-linked ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer
Tougher and more resilient than Plastazote; high elasticity and flex recovery; superb slip and skid resistance; excellent UV and weather resistance.
Microlen
Closed-cell microcellular foam
Ultra-fine, uniform cell structure; very smooth, aesthetic surface finish; highly thermoformable; good thermal and acoustic insulation.
Stratocell
Laminated closed-cell polyethylene (PE)
High-efficiency cushioning at lower thicknesses; cost-effective for large-scale use; great structural strength; reusable and recyclable.
Supazote
Ultra-soft, closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene (PE)
The softest, most flexible foam in the Zotefoams range; premium, soft-touch feel; excellent impact drape and flexibility; high chemical inertness.
ZOTEK
High-performance closed-cell fluoropolymer (ZOTEK F) or nylon (ZOTEK N) foams
Extreme temperature resistance; outstanding flame, smoke, and toxicity ratings; highly resistant to aggressive chemicals and hydrocarbons; exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
Alongside the foam we supply, we also allow you to source a wide range of exterior packaging, cases and bags.
Our deep expertise in manufacturing high-performance engineering foam components and industrial returnable packaging enables us to deliver a broad range of benefits to your supply chain and production lines.
