How can we improve?

214 Products

Raw Materials

Lightweight PVC Foam

Create signs and partitions with this easy to cut PVC foam.

Stiff PVC Foam Cores

Add stiffness to composite sandwiches without adding a lot of weight.

Laminated Super-Cushioning
Polyurethane/Polyethylene Foam Sheets and Strips

These dual-material foam sheets and strips have ultra-soft polyurethane foam on one side and chemical-resistant polyethylene foam on the other. They are widely used in packaging applications to absorb shock and damp vibration.

Thermal Insulation

Moisture-Resistant Low-Temperature
Rigid Polystyrene Foam Insulation Sheets

These sheets resist the absorption of water, air, and gas and are widely used in cold-storage and packaging applications.

Impact-Resistant Low-Temperature
Rigid PVC Foam Insulation Sheets

Made of rugged PVC foam, these rigid sheets absorb impact and restrict the absorption of water, air, and gas. Use in applications with operating temperatures below 32° F.

Polyurethane Foam Insulation
Sheets with Perforated Facing

The perforated vinyl facing allows moisture to evaporate and resists cracking and fading. These flexible sheets are good for insulating large enclosures.

Crack-Resistant Rigid Polyimide Insulation Sheets

Even when subjected to heavy compression, these rigid polyimide sheets won't crack.

Lightweight Melamine Insulation Sheets

The lowest-density insulation we offer, these sheets are made of lightweight melamine foam.

Abrasion-Resistant Silicone Foam Insulation Sheets

The fiberglass facing on these flexible silicone foam sheets protects against highly abrasive conditions and resists tearing.

Flexible Rubber Foam Pipe Insulation

Soft and easy to install, this insulation restricts absorption of water, air, and gas. It is often used on cold and hot water lines and refrigeration lines.

Economical Flexible Polyethylene Foam Pipe Insulation

Less flexible than rubber foam, this insulation restricts absorption of water, air, and gas. It is typically used in plumbing applications

Sound-Absorbing Sheets

Use these sheets to quiet noisy areas and line machine enclosures. They’re made of humidity-resistant polyurethane foam and have a smooth, easy-to-clean facing.

Flame-Retardant Sound-Absorbing Sheets

This insulation meets ASTM E162 for flame retardance and ASTM E662 for smoke output. Use to quiet noisy areas and line machine enclosures. Sheets are made of polyimide foam.

Contoured Sound-Absorbing Sheets

Also known as egg crate, these sheets have peaks and valleys that absorb more sound at higher frequencies than flat-surface sheets. Use them to quiet noisy areas and line machine enclosures. Sheets are made of humidity-resistant polyurethane foam.

Heat-Reflecting Sound-Absorbing Sheets

The foil facing reflects heat. Use these sheets to quiet noisy areas and line machine enclosures. They’re made of humidity-resistant polyurethane foam.

Oil-Resistant Sound-Absorbing Sheets

A urethane coating protects these humidity-resistant polyurethane foam sheets from oil exposure. Use them to quiet noisy areas and line machine enclosures.

Water-Resistant Rigid Sound-Absorbing Sheets

These polypropylene foam sheets will not degrade if exposed to moisture and occasional salt water spray. Use them to quiet noisy areas and line machine enclosures.

Flame-Retardant Rigid Sound-Absorbing Sheets

Made of melamine foam, these sheets meet UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance and ASTM E84 5/20 for flame and smoke. Use them to quiet noisy areas and line machine enclosures. Sheets are peaked on one side for more sound-absorbing area than flat-surface sheets.

Rigid Ultra-Sound-Absorbing Sheets

The best sound absorbers of all our rigid sheets, use to quiet noisy areas in your facility. They're peaked on one side for more sound-absorbing area than flat sheets. Made of melamine, they have an acrylic resin finish that resists dust and dirt and wipes clean.

Sound Barrier Sheets

Reflect sound and block noise from traveling to other parts of your facility.

Prototyping Foam

Use this urethane foam for a variety of prototyping applications.

Wrenches and Sockets

Foam Wrench Organizers

The slots in these low-profile organizers are a different color than the base so it's clear when tools are missing from your bench top or drawer.

Foam Socket Organizers

The slots in these low-profile organizers are a different color than the base so it's clear when tools are missing from your bench top or drawer.
