Conductive Foam

Conductive Foam in both Pin Insertion and Cushioning Grades

blackfoamLD50CN High Density Closed Cell Cross-linked Conductive Polyethylene, EV45CN (EVA Copolymer Conductive) Foams:

*  are inert and  lightweight
*  are tough, flexible and  resilient
*  are highly energy  absorbent
*  are easily fabricated using  well known techniques
*  are easy to thermoform using  standard vacuum forming or heat impression molding  techniques
*  have a very wide operating  temperature range
*  exhibit excellent chemical and  water resistance
*  do not cause staining of paint  finishes
*  do not corrode metal  parts
*  exhibit good U.V.  stability

Zotefoams Inc.  products are made by a unique high pressure nitrogen gas solution  process.

The superiority of these products, compared with  polyethylene foams made by other technologies, stems directly from the use of  this high pressure gas technology.

This produces a pure, chemically inert foam without  blowing agent residues and with a uniform cell structure and regular cell walls.  The process comprises three main stages

Product AdvantagesThe unique  manufacturing process results in arrange of unique properties which, in turn,  can help to differentiate the finished product from those made using other  foams

Some examples of these properties translating into  applications are discussed below;

A Very Pure  Product

Because there is no chemical blowing agent  used, the resultant foam product is very pure. This gives rise to the  following

Biologically  inert  important for  health care applications
Very low  fogging important in  optic applications
Does not smell Helpful for all production
Ammonia  free Some packaged  products are sensitive to ammonia contamination.Our foam products are ammonia  free

Very Regular Cell Structure With Minimal  Density Variation

This means that designers do not  need to over specify in order to take account of density variations within the  sheet. this therefore implies;

Lighter  foam This is valued in cushion packaging where weight savings can be  vital.
Predictable  properties Important when  designing molded components or packaging sensitive  products.
Stronger  foam  Density for  density our foams are tougher and stronger than other foams. This is appreciated  in most applications where performance is part of the  specifications.
