- Thermoformed foamThe horizontally and vertically foamed products of Trocellen are converted in various ways, such as compression moulding, perforation and embossing. Polyethylene or polypropylene foams get custom contours by thermoforming. The foam materials are available with various fire protection classifications, hardnesses and densities.
- Brock foamBoth ARPRO® EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) and ARPAK® EPE (Expanded Polyethylene) are used in Brock Foams, depending on application requirements.Brock Foam is able to combine cushioning with a “breathable” functionality. Air and water easily pass through Brock Foam, which is why it is used in protective athletic gear, such as for lacrosse, mountain climbing, motocross racing, and other sports related applications.
- Circlefoam recycled pu foamCirclefoam recycles PU foam and latex from sources such as old mattresses, dismantled furniture, and post-industrial waste streams, converting them into new foam suitable for various applications within the furniture industry. It provides a circular solution by transforming recycled foam materials from post-industrial and post-consumer sources into high-quality products for the furniture industry.
- Cruz FoamCruz Foam is a high-performance, protective, sustainable, foam product for the shipping of impact-sensitive, cold-chain goods, and more. It is the first fully compostable packaging foam, matching the performance and characteristics of expanded polyethylene (EPE) while ensuring safe delivery of high-value goods and meeting sustainability demands. With 70% upcycled ingredients, Cruz Foam is ASTM D6400 tested compostable, setting a new bar for sustainability.
- SymbioMatter FOAMIn contrast to conventional plastic foams, the soft foam is entirely plant-based and biodegradable. Distinguished by its soft, flexible, and lightweight nature, the SymbioMatter foam also possesses movement dampening and isolating properties.
