Isofoam

Isofoam is a high quality, durable and economical material.

Isofoam is used predominantly as a sidewall / lateral vibration damping and isolation material

Since foam based materials have a tendency to creep when subjected to constant compressive forces such as under constant vertical compressive loading.

Isofoam is a high quality, durable and economical material.

Features

  • Produced from high quality Closed Cell EPDM foam
  • High resilience and low damping characteristics
  • Can be supplied as sheets or cut to size pads and strips (including holes and slots if required) according to the customer’s requirements.
