Plastazote^® and Evazote^® Foams

Plastazote Foam Manufactured by Zotefoams Plc, Plastazote^® and Evazote^® foams are unique in that they are expanded using inert Nitrogen gas. This means that any residual “blowing” agent that may leech out over a period of time will be the inert Nitrogen. Available in a range of densities, from 18 kg/m3 to 115 kg/m3, the most commonly used grade in prosthetics and orthotics is LD45 for Plastazote^® and EV50 for Evazote^®

Plastazote^® is an expanded polyethylene foam, whilst Evazote® is an expanded polyethylene/eva copolymer foam.

Suitable for padding, cushioning, lightweight splinting applications, shoe build up’s and lower limb prosthetic cosmetic finishing.

Plastazote foam is a closed cell crosslinked polyethylene foam which is blown using Nitrogen.
