Foam materials
for industrial applications.
Selecting the right material is one of the key elements of every solution. We choose materials according to their mechanical properties, structure, density and application conditions.
The right material
for the specific application.
Different requirements call for different materials.
We select the material according to the function it needs to perform, from impact cushioning and transport protection to positioning, sealing, insulation or protection of electronic components.
We process PE, EPE, PE-K, PU, EVA, antistatic and ESD foams, as well as other specialty foam and technical materials in various densities, hardnesses and thicknesses.
We tailor material selection to the specific product, application conditions and project requirements.
Materials we process most often.
Each material has different mechanical and functional properties. The appropriate type depends on the product, application and required level of protection.
PE foam
Closed-cell polyethylene foam is used for protective packaging, technical components, positioning and product cushioning.
Different densities allow material selection according to product weight, required rigidity and level of protection.
Protective inserts, transport packaging, spacers, separators, technical components and protection against impact and movement.
Technical characteristics
Different PE foam grades are available, allowing selection of suitable density and mechanical properties for the application.
| Type | Density | Shore 00 | Compressive strength pri 25% |
|---|---|---|---|
| PE-H45 | 42 ± 5 kg/m³ | 62 | 84 kPa |
| PE-H65 | 65 ± 8 kg/m³ | 74 | 139 kPa |
| PE-H100 | 100 ± 15 kg/m³ | 81 | 237 kPa |
* Values according to the technical data sheets of the material types shown. Technical characteristics may vary depending on material type, thickness and manufacturer.
EPE foam
EPE is a lightweight closed-cell polyethylene foam primarily intended for protective and transport packaging.
Different densities allow selection of suitable flexibility and compression resistance depending on product weight, geometry and sensitivity.
Protective elements, separators, spacers, box linings, surface protection and transport packaging.
Technical characteristics
Different EPE foam grades are available, allowing selection of suitable density and mechanical properties for the application.

PE-K foam
PE-K is a cross-linked closed-cell polyethylene foam with a fine, uniform surface. Its characteristic cell structure gives the material an attractive, slightly shimmering appearance, making it suitable for packaging where visual presentation is important.
In addition to good mechanical properties, PE-K allows precision processing and the production of visually refined inserts and technical components.
Precision-cut inserts, protective and presentation packaging, packaging for cosmetics, gifts and other high-value products, as well as technical components, spacers and positioners.
Technical characteristics
Different PE-K foam grades are available, allowing selection of suitable density and mechanical properties for the application.

| PE-K45 | 45 kg/m³ | 94 kPa | 170 kPa |
* Values according to the technical data sheets of the material types shown. Technical characteristics may vary depending on material type, thickness and manufacturer.
PU foam
Flexible open-cell polyurethane foam is available in a wide range of densities and hardnesses, allowing material selection according to the requirements of the specific application.
Thanks to its flexibility and cushioning properties, PU foam is used to protect sensitive products and to manufacture inserts, linings and various technical components.
Protective inserts and linings, product cushioning, fillers, separators, profiled foam, technical components and protective packaging for sensitive products.
Technical characteristics
Different PU foam grades allow density and hardness to be matched to the required flexibility, load-bearing capacity and level of protection.
| Type | Density | CLD 40% | Tensile strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| NF1830 | 16–19 kg/m³ | 2,5–3,5 kPa | ≥ 80 kPa |
| VH2542 | 23–26 kg/m³ | 3,7–4,7 kPa | ≥ 100 kPa |
| N2790 | 24,8–28,1 kg/m³ | 8–12 kPa | ≥ 140 kPa |
| VH4050 | 37–41 kg/m³ | 4,5–5,5 kPa | ≥ 100 kPa |
* The values shown refer to selected PU foam types from technical data sheets. Material characteristics depend on type, density, hardness and manufacturer.
Antistatic and static-
dissipative foams
Foam materials intended to protect electronic components and other products sensitive to electrostatic discharge. We offer antistatic PU foams and static-dissipative PE foam.
Different structures, densities and electrical properties allow material selection according to product requirements, packaging method and required level of protection.
Electronic components, printed circuit boards and assemblies, sensors, measuring equipment, precision-cut inserts, separators and protective packaging.
