Closed cell foams reach higher
temperature
Zotefoams launches range of high temperature closed cell foams, an extension to the Zotek F family of foams, based on the fluoropolymer Kynar from Arkema.
Zotefoams has launched a range of high temperature closed cell foams, an extension to the Zotek F family of foams, based on the fluoropolymer Kynar from Arkema Designated Zotek F HT, the foams have an operational temperature limit of 160C, an improvement of +50C over the Zotek F range

Insulating foam passes test of flammability
Zotefoams has developed a new lightweight, closed cell foam material that is considered ideal for many sealing and insulating applications in the electrical and electronics industries.
Four grades are available: Zotek F40 HT and F75 HT both for general use in industrial applications such as chemical engineering, pharmaceutical and medical; and Zotek F38 HT and F74 HT for use in the commercial and military aircraft and aerospace industries.
All the fluoropolymer foams are characterised by their smoke, flame and toxicity properties, chemical and UV resistance and insulation and moisture resistance properties.
The 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.
The foams can be 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. Request a free brochure from Zotefoams ...
