Syntactic foams
Our syntactic foams are primarily used in the thermoforming industry and have many unique properties which make them ideal candidates for these applications. Syntactic foams are created through combining hollow glass spheres in a polymer matrix.
They are ideal for use as plug assist tooling and their unique properties have seen them replacing the more conventional materials that have been traditionally used such as wood, aluminium or felt.

Used in a wide variety of applications on sheet-feed, or in-line machines. May also be used with most commonly thermoformed materials, as well as some of the more exotic materials available today. It may be used as a direct replacement for the other epoxy syntactic materials. |
Syntactic foam provided in standard size rods or sheets |
