Processing Foam |  Foam Conversion

Processes we perform to shape closed cell foams

Closed cell expanded polyethylene foam is an amazing material. It always surprises people when they find out the never-ending range of products that can be made from it and just how versatile it is. They don’t realise that it comes in soft, firm, rigid and hard-as-wood grades, is available in different colours and densities, as well as anti-static, conductive and flame retardant foam versions. Its use in the aerospace, automotive, defence and security markets is huge just for foam components alone, let alone when it is used for packaging in these sectors.

In order to make all of these amazing parts though, the material needs processing, machining and shaping. And that’s where Polyformes comes in. Because our core business is closed cell flexible polyethylene foam only, i.e. not soft open cell (sponge) polyurethane, we have been able to concentrate on buying, making or adapting machinery that will shape the foam in the way we and our customers want it to be. It is where our years of experience lie, ­ providing foam solutions to industry and commerce.

As foam innovators, technical foam engineers and foam designers, we can provide foam packaging solutions to all industries and markets - and we do :

Our foam manufacturing processes include:

CNC routing, water-jet cutting, cold wire profiling, hot blade profiling, laser engraving, full colour foam printing, splitting and skiving, auto-moulding, thermoforming, laminating, butt-welding, moulding, flight case manufacture, flight case printing, drilling and lathing.

In fact, we utilise and develop whatever machinery, parts or products are available in order to achieve what the customer requires. Polyformes delivers foam solutions, and in the most cost effective and efficient way.
