Plastazote® / Evazote® Foam
Plastazote® is an expanded polyethylene foam available in cross linked and non cross linked grades. Both grades are available in a wide variety of densities and colours and have good resistance to weather and oil making them also ideal for sealing applications.
Evazote® foams are based on EVA copolymers and are slightly more resilient and are a more durable alternative to Plastazote.
Temperature range: -80°C to +100°C.
Applications: Used for machining, fabricating and protection of valuable items in packing cases.
