Foam selection help

[JATIII]

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

 

[MikeHalloran]

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?

Start here - EPDM rubber:

The above is one supplier - there must be many near wherever you are...

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.

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