Closed Cell Plastazote Foam for Automotive Applications

Plastazote foam is used across a variety of industries, not least the automotive sector. As safety should be at the forefront of every vehicle that’s manufactured, the superior performance and lighter weight of plastazote sheets make this material ideally suited to the construction of road vehicles. Plastazote also boasts a consistent cell structure and an absence of chemical agents in the foam.

Many seating and soft trim areas employ Plastazote foams. Because of the low-density closed cell characteristic of Plastazote foam sheets, seat cushions can be significantly lighter. They’re also utilized to add buoyancy or support to key regions of seat cushions, making them more comfortable and durable.

Around seating areas, Plastazote foam is used to provide a soft touch and energy management. Foam-backed materials are utilized around improved seating, seat armrests, and crash padding on the back of headrests.
