High-performance, closed cell, crosslinked, polyethylene and EVA foams.

Archival Plastazote® and evazote® Foams

Archival Storage

Priceless works of art, historical artifacts and natural history specimens all require premium protection during display, transportation and archival storage. In many conservation applications the use of high purity polyethylene foam is desirable and the material setting the standards for purity and consistency is Plastazote.

Unique Foam Process

zotefoams uses a unique high pressure nitrogen impregnation process to manufacture foams of exceptional purity and consistency… Foams that are ideal for conservation purposes and have a proven performance record in Museums  and Galleries.

Specialised Properties

Azote® foams are lightweight, durable and chemically inert with isotropic mechanical properties. they are completely CFC, HCFC, HFC and VoC free and contain no potentially corrosive and staining blowing agent residues.

Safe for Archival

extremely durable, stable and odour free, Azote® foams are available in a range of densities and attractive colours. these coloured foams utilise solid pigments that are completely bound in the polymer matrix and consequently are non-migratory and non-leaching.

Outstanding Properties

Azote® is easy to fashion. Produced in 2m x 1m buns, it can be cut, sawn, sanded, routered, die cut, thermoformed, waterjet cut, laminated and welded to make virtually any shape required.
Being closed-cell, it is easily cleaned of dust and particles and may be washed using household soaps and detergents in warm water.
