Foam selection help

Foam selection help

Foam selection help

(OP)
I am looking for a highly flexible foam type material that must have good to excellent UV resistence. Any suggestions?

RE: Foam selection help

You want it supplied in what form?  Blocks| sheet| self-adhesive sheet| die cut preforms| resin?

There's also a standard for compressibility; I don't remember the number.

Does 'flexible' imply that you'll be bending sheet, or compressing the stuff?

RE: Foam selection help

What is the question exactly. Are you looking for a technical recommendation or a source of supply? Either way you need to supply a lot more info and some evidence of prior effort.

RE: Foam selection help

Even without much information about the application I would say that EVA could be a good option for its versatility.
