The use of foam - from DIY to industrial

It is quite surprising to consider the wide range of things for which foam rubber can be used. From use for DIY to all sectors of industry, foam rubber is both versatile and useful.

For example, knee-pads are perfect for general purpose use in both the workshop, house and garden. Typically, they will have dense foam inside that will be covered with neoprene rubber. This makes them especially useful if they are to be used in damp areas. Gardening enthusiasts who suffer with arthritis find them ideal when kneeling on damp surfaces.

People who take part in leisure activities where accidents are more likely to occur, such as skateboarding, cycling and so forth will appreciate the added protection that will be provided by the use of both knee and elbow pads and even helmets. Another garment used in watersports is, of course, the wetsuit. Over the years, the wetsuit has evolved and developed into an ideal, lightweight item of clothing. The first wetsuits appeared in the 1950's and were made from quite fragile neoprene, a type of foam rubber which was, in later incarnations, encased in the much tougher material, nylon. There are different styles of wetsuit which have been designed to suit the particular water sport for which they are being used. Another key factor in deciding which style to wear is the ambient temperature in the relevant environment.

The thinnest suit is made from rubber only 2mm, sometimes even less. These suits, often called "shorties", only cover the torso. A. range of wetsuits are available from the aforementioned to 8mm, which is normally accompanied by hood, gloves and boots.

At Technical Foam Services we can provide foam cut to size for the manufacture of these garments. Obviously the cut has to be precise, and we do this with ease, thanks to our experience and expertise in manufacturing foam.
