Zotefoams are unlike any other foam, Azote foams are engineered to offer superior performance. Produced using a unique autoclave process, the Azote range includes world-leading technical foam brands Plastazote and Evazote.
Zotefoams Plastazote and Evazote have extremely consistent cell size and the cell’s shape and structure is much stronger than other foams. You can see this in the graphic below.
What is Azote Plastazote used for?
Aviation
Azote foams are the purest and lightest materials perfectly suited to aviation and aerospace with flame retardant, conductive and static dissipative features available.
Azote Plastazote is up to 70% lighter than comparable materials, resulting in weight reduction through reduced material content.
Healthcare and Medical
Plastazote (a Zotefoams product) is acknowledged as the most cited thermoplastic material in medical literature.
- Ankle, knee, back and cervical collar pads
- Patient pads for medical diagnostic and therapeutic devices
- Wearable vital signs monitoring patches
- Orthotic components
- MRI, CT and x-ray devices
- Patient positioning pads
- Wheelchair seating and positioning pads
- Medical protective helmet liners
- Prosthetic components
- Podiatric components
Plastazote is non-absorbent, inert, is easily cleaned in warm water and provides the softest feel for gentle skin contact as well as consistently high quality results in ergonomic thermoforming.
Product Packaging
Azote foams are highly energy absorbent, lightweight, UV stable, flexible, durable and resistant to chemicals and moisture making them ideal for protection of goods in the Defence, electronics, medical and transport sectors.
Approved for military use as explosive compatible storage, Azote foams also provide conductive and static dissipative options to help reduce the occurrence of ESD damage in electronic packaging.
Personal Protection
Zotefoams Azote foams provide the softness and feel of a low density foam with the performance and strength of a high density foam making them perfect for use in personal protection.
Provide outstanding cushioning and impact absorption when used in personal protection equipment Azote is well suited for use in Defence, law enforcement and sporting applications such as body armour, gloves, helmet liners as well as knee and shoulder pads.
