Polyformes AZOTE foams offer an unrivalled combination of mechanical properties; strength, light weight. Construction materials Foams are used in the manufacture of floating hoses for oil terminals and dredging. They are also used in the production of MOB (man overboard) boats used in off shore oil exploration and as buoyancy fillers in amphibious cars where their flame retardant nature is also invaluable. PLASTAZOTE is the lightest polyethylene foam available with densities down to 15kg / m3 making it particularly suitable for use as formers in the hull stiffening ribs and stringers of large FRP (fibre reinforced plastic) boats and other structures. Fenders Fenders made from closed cell polyethylene foams will not sink if they become damaged. They provide high energy absorption with a low reaction force - properties that make them superior to pneumatic fenders. Buoys Cylindrical buoys, anchor pendant buoys, navigation and marker buoys all benefit from the nature of closed cell foams. Floats Closed cell pe foam floats for umbilicals, ropes, cables, are exceptionally durable and easy to manufacture using conventional foam conversion techniques. Self-fendering booms have a myriad of applications from oil containment to the creation of exclusion zones at sea or in inland waterways.
