Foam Products

Thanks to its high abrasion resistance and excellent compression recovery performance, polyurethane foam is preferred in applications exposed to continuous movement and friction. It is widely used as an ejection pad in cutting dies in the printing industry, as an abrasion-resistant alternative to conventional machine seals exposed to friction and in sealing elements operating in oily environments. Its food-grade formulations and resistance to flammable substances such as solvents and thinners also make it suitable for safe use in chemical environments.

Open-cell polyurethane or EPDM-based filter foams used in ventilation and air-conditioning systems retain airborne dust and particles, helping maintain system efficiency. Manufactured in different pore densities measured in PPI, they provide different filtration levels ranging from fine dust filtration to coarse particle retention.

In dust-retaining filter foams, the main parameter determining filtration performance is not density but the PPI value, which indicates the number of pores per inch:

Silicone sponge is the preferred choice for sensitive and hygienic applications due to its wide temperature tolerance and excellent flexibility. It is extensively used in textile printing applications, sensitive contact points in the food industry, as a replacement for seals exposed to high temperatures and at various processing points in the pharmaceutical industry. Lighting fixtures and the marine industry are two of the broadest application areas for silicone sponge strips.

EPDM sponge sheet is a soft and porous rubber material that provides an ideal solution for water and sound insulation thanks to its low specific density and closed-cell structure. It is widely used for sealing applications in the electrical, lighting and construction industries. These natural rubber or copolymer-based sheets are manufactured using moulding or extrusion methods.

The most notable feature of EPDM sponge is its excellent resistance to weather conditions, ultraviolet radiation and temperatures up to 120°C. Its water permeability is only approximately 1.5%, clearly demonstrating why its closed-cell structure is ideal for water and sound insulation.

Thanks to their closed-cell structure, these sheets provide high resistance to water vapour transmission and excellent thermal insulation performance, making them an industry standard for HVAC pipe and duct insulation. Vipad® supplies these sheets for refrigeration and air-conditioning installations requiring thermal insulation.

Custom-moulded foams shaped by CNC machining according to product geometry for use in carrying cases for sensitive equipment, measuring instruments and electronic products. These products improve transport safety by providing impact absorption and moisture protection.
