FOAMEX Technical and Advanced Polymer Products


Foamex's history of providing sophisticated technical foam solutions is why Foamex has more patents than any other foam manufacturer.

The Foamex portfolio of technical collaboration ranges from high-tech to high-touch industries.

Foamex polyurethane Safety Foam has a 30 year record, built on combat experience, of suppressing explosions in military aircraft and land vehicles.

For more than eight years, Foamex has developed and fine-tuned the specialized foam in foam reservoirs for ink cartridges used in high-speed inkjet printers. Many high-end laptop computers have relied upon nickel-metal hydride batteries manufactured using Foamex foam to reduce battery weight and lengthen cell life.

Foamex created a soft, stretchable foam material for use in baby diaper elastic waistbands. For cosmetic applicators, Foamex formulated an ultrasoft product. Foamex supplies foam for filtration products of the leading blood oxygenator manufacturers. Experimental military garment liners incorporate a soft Foamex Foam with an activated carbon coating that absorbs odors and gases. Even the nickel-plated battery powering the victor of the 1994 American Tour de Sol, the national solar and electric vehicle championship, used Foamex foam.
