Technical Foams

Thermal and acoustic insulationsuited to demanding environments

ELIT manufactures, supplies, and supports manufacturers in theirtechnical foam
needs. Technical Foams.

Technical foam

Technical foams are insulating materials offering excellent thermal and acoustic performance for a variety of industrial applications. Available in closed or open cell versions, they provide effective protection against temperature variations, vibrations and noise, while guaranteeing optimum lightness.

Our TECHNICAL FOAM FAMILIES

CLOSED-CELL FOAM FAMILY
(Density: 60 to 200 Kg/m³)

Features

Closed-cell foams have a watertight structure, preventing the penetration of fluids and providing excellent thermal insulation at low temperatures.

Types of foam :

  • PVC foam, PET foam, PEI foam, PMI foam, FOMGLASS foam (glass cell), Silicone foam, PE foam
  • Temperature range: -194°C to +230°C
  • Advantages: low density, high mechanical strength, thermal stability

Main applications :

  • Pipe support: effective insulation of pipes subject to significant thermal variations.
  • Insulating liquid nitrogen tanks: maintaining ultra-low temperatures in cryogenic environments.
  • Climatic chambers: reduce heat exchange to ensure stable conditions.

OPEN CELL FOAM FAMILY
(Density: 10 to 60 Kg/m³)

Features

Open-cell foams are lighter, providing better sound absorption while remaining self-supporting. They are ideal for applications requiring thermal insulation and/or noise reduction.

Types of foam :

  • V3012 foam, Polyurethane foam, PIR foam
  • Temperature range: 20°C to 200°C
  • Advantages: very low density, effective sound absorption, structure adaptable to complex shapes

Main applications :

  • Acoustic insulation: reducing industrial noise pollution.
  • Substitution for rock wool: a lighter, moisture-resistant alternative.
  • Baking tents: temporary or mobile insulation of heat treatment zones.
  • Furnace walls: improving the thermal performance of industrial equipment.
