SOFTLON

• Water resistance
  Water absorption

  Closed cell foam made of polyolefin resin having low water absorption impregnable to water

• Strength
  Toughness

  Widely used as a sturdy yet flexible material with superior heat resistance over non-crosslinked foam

• Flexibility

  Resin’s intrinsic softness and closed cell structure providing reasonable bouncing and cushioning

• Heat resistance

  With excellent heat-resistance, polypropylene (PP) resin has minimal thermal shrinkage even in the high temperature range.

• Thermal insulation

  Foam containing a large amount of air with minimized convection resulting in low thermal conductivity and superior thermal insulation performance

• Thinness

  Sekisui’s proprietary thinning technology realizes thin foam of 1 mm or less.

• Shock absorption

  With the inherent flexibility of the resin and the bubble cell structure of the foam, the physical high-speed pressure (shock energy) is evenly dispersed.

• Sealing of uneven surfaces

  With its flexibility, the foam seals uneven or sharp surfaces to achieve high sealing property.

• Thermoformability

  Polypropylene (PP) resin has excellent heat-stability, Softlon SP can withstand high temperatures during molding, enabling highly deep drawability.

• Smoothness

  An even and clean surface with finer cells compared to chemical crosslinked foam, suitable for adhesion and coating

• Electrical characteristics

  Closed cell foam containing a large amount of air providing excellent dielectric strength and low permittivity.

• Chemical resistance
  Oil resistance

  With superior resistance against acids, alkalines, organic solvents, and other chemicals, used in many industries

• Low environmental load

  Being halogen-free, generating no toxic gases when burnt

• Workability

  Excellent shape stability realizes various processing.
