After presenting thenew ZFoam catalogue, we would like to devote this and coming posts to each of the sectors it comprises. We start with Azote foams, featured as Zotefoams (Plastazote®, Evazote® y Zotek®), and occupying the first page of a catalogue that faithfully reflects the advances made by ZFoam over the last eight years, as well as being a highly practical reference tool.
Reticulated polyolefin foams
Azote foams hold a prominent position in our catalogue for one essential reason: they are the best-performing technical foams on the market for the industrial sector and go where no other foams can.
They are manufactured from high-purity reticulated polyolefin and stand out for the absence of chemical wastes from the foaming process (they are the only ones on the market produced with high-pressure nitrogen), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and for their ability to withstand high temperatures, their versions with flame retardant additives (FR and FM grades) and grades of foams with antistatic and conductive properties (SD and CN grades).
Characteristics of Azote foams
Designed to comply with the highest standards in the rail, automotive, aeronautic, maritime and healthcare sectors, among many others, Azote foams have features that make them ideal for uses that require the highest performance.
In addition to these properties, Azote® foams also stand out for being:
- Light and highly flexible
- Biologically inert (they allow permanent contact with human skin)
- Non-toxic: they contain no latex and are hypoallergenic and transparent to MRI, TC and X-rays
- They come in a wide range of grades, from the lightest (LD15, LD24 and EV30) to the most rigid (HD30, LD70 and PK80).
- Suitable for thermal and acoustic insulation
- Suitable for liquid and moisture retention
- Highly durable and resistant, even to a wide variety of chemical substances
- Recyclable, enabling them to be easily reused to protect the environment.
We have included a wide selection of Azote® foams (Plastazote®, Evazote® and Zotek®) in our catalogue, which you can appreciate at a glance.
Sectors where Azote can be used
Given their features, as described, Azote foams are typically used for the manufacture of sports equipment, medical and orthopaedic equipment, instrument panels on vehicles of all kinds, construction and thermal insulation.
In addition to the rail, automotive, aeronautic, maritime and healthcare sectors, we can also add sports, food, electronics and renewable energy as users of this type of foam. This provides a clear picture of the degree of versatility of Azote foams, which is why a large number of them feature in our catalogue. –Download the catalogue-
