Plastazote® foams have widespread uses in orthotics, prosthetic linings and foot care appliances. A thermoplastic polyethylene foam, Plastazote is easily heat moulded (85-140°C) and will adhere to most materials.

This kind of material are often been seen on diabetic shoe inserts.

A wide range of polymer combinations is available to give increased stiffness, improved temperature resistance and improved mouldability. Plastazote® foams are engineered to offer superior performance and lighter weight. The absence of any chemical agents in the foam and a consistency of cell structure and density allows Zotefoams to offer the world’s lightest cross-linked foams.

Plastazote^® foams are available in:

• a range of densities from 15kg/m3 to 115kg/m3
• a variety of attractive colours
• Metallocene grades for easier thermo-compression behaviour
• special grades with increased flame-retarding properties, and/or conductive or static-dissipative characteristics

Plastazote^® foams are used in a variety of industries including:

• packaging
• automotive (thermoformed parts)
• aerospace
• electronics
• healthcare thanks to their inert qualities
• construction
• sport (protective padding)
• marine where buoyancy is crucial
• industrial (seals and gaskets)
