Rigid phenolic and bio-based foams in a range of densities, strengths, and absorbency

Our engineered foam portfolio includes rigid phenolic foams and a bio‑based foam series, both designed for predictable performance in demanding applications. Phenolic foams offer a high strength‑to‑weight ratio and inherent fire resistance, producing low smoke and low toxicity while maintaining mechanical stability under elevated temperatures. The bio‑based foam series delivers comparable mechanical performance and absorbency with familiar processing and handling characteristics.

Foams are available across a broad density range (ultra‑low to medium) in absorbent and non‑absorbent structures, with controlled cell morphology. Products are supplied as blocks, sheets, or custom‑machined shapes, with tight process control ensuring consistent density, strength, and performance from batch to batch.
