ZOTEK Foam meets Building Standards.
ZOTEKF-30 LS, a new foam based on KYNAR PVDF fluoropolymer resin is claimed to meet many high performance sealing and insulation needs in the building industry.
Under floor foam prevents sports injuries
Leading floor manufacturers have developed flooring systems specifically for sports applications by building-in spring/rebound using Evazote EV50 from Zotefoams, the UK based foam technologists.
Four grades are currently available: Zotek F40 HT and Zotek F75 HT both recommended for general use in industrial applications such as chemical engineering, pharmaceutical and medical.
Zotek F38 HT and Zotek F74 HT complete the range and are intended for use in the commercial and military aircraft and aerospace industries.
All Zotek F fluoropolymer foams are characterised by their exceptional smoke, flame and toxicity properties, outstanding chemical and UV resistance and excellent insulation and moisture resistance properties.
The new Zotek F HT grades also offer enhanced chemical and solvent resistance, combined with higher levels of structural rigidity.
Preliminary testing indicates noticeable improvements in terms of tensile strength, elongation, tear strength and compression set.
Zotek F HT foams can be easily converted by using traditional foam fabrication techniques such as sawing, routing, gluing, laminating, welding and die-cutting.
They can also be thermoformed into complex single component structures providing many benefits over multi-layer foam systems, such as weight and cost reduction. Request a free brochure from Zotefoams ...
