Many EnsoLite and Monarch products meet the flame-resistance requirements of De Havilland, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman specifications.
ATHLETICS
ATHLETICS
We are a leading manufacturer of shock-absorption foams for the athletic-mat market. Our high-quality, lightweight foams are designed for safety, longevity, and performance and are ideal for applications such as wrestling mats, gymnastic mats, and protective padding for other indoor and outdoor sports facilities.
AUTOMOTIVE
AUTOMOTIVE
The automotive supply chain includes thousands of manufacturers of car parts which feed OEM automakers around the globe. Our EnsoLite, Monarch, and OleTex foams meet the strict standards set by the auto industry for automotive components including gaskets or seals, foam trim, and automotive insulation.
FLOTATION DEVICES
FLOTATION DEVICES
ArmaSport and OleTex products are ideal for personal flotation devices and pool floats. Makers of life vests for water safety can choose materials that are UL listed. Leisure devices like pool floats and toys can be made from materials with less stringent standards. Many materials can be vinyl-dipped for a durable, water-tight coating.
INDUSTRIAL
INDUSTRIAL
We supply material for gaskets for machinery, white goods, and other motorized equipment as well as electronics and electrical enclosures. Our specialized products meet industry requirements for foams that may get very hot, or could be exposed to chemicals, flame, or weathering. Many EnsoLite and Monarch products are UL-listed.
INFRASTRUCTURE
INFRASTRUCTURE
Improving a country’s highways, bridges, and water conveyance is a sound investment. Several EnsoLite and Monarch materials meet the rigorous scrutiny required by government Department of Transportation bodies including Pennsylvania DOT (PennDOT) Bulletin 15, specifically qualifying materials for precast culverts and bridge beams.
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
Closed-cell foams are ideal for use in medical equipment and devices. Our flexible, but durable foams resist absorption of fluids, and many can be sterilized. Applications include medical face shields, prescriptive braces and splints, immobilization devices, radiology positioning blocks, and therapeutic supports and rolls.
MILITARY
MILITARY
We have the expertise to create specialized component foam products used in a wide range of manufacturing for military equipment. EnsoLite, Monarch, and OleTex component foams meet military and government specifications. Applications include knee and elbow pads, blast floor mats, helmet padding and liners, and vehicle pads.
OEM HVAC
OEM HVAC
Our elastomeric foams provide superior insulation and sound/vibration attenuation for the manufacture of HVAC equipment and systems. EnsoLite semi-open-cell soft foams are extremely conformable are and tested to applicable flame-resistance standards which makes them perfect for use inside air handlers or around chillers.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
We take personal protection to a new level by supplying customized foam-padding materials to helmet, headgear, and body padding manufacturers for use in sports, medical, or other safety markets where people must be protected from physical injury. ArmaSport resilient foam padding is engineered for shock absorption and personal protection.
SEALANT ACCESSORIES
SEALANT ACCESSORIES
Backer rods are round, flexible lengths of foam that are used as a “backing” in joints or cracks to help control the amount of sealant used or the depth of the sealant in the gap. We offer the most extensive collection of backer rods and the largest range of sizes on the market. Armacell is the only one-stop source for backer rod solutions.
SPORTS TURF
SPORTS TURF
ArmaSport turf underlayment cushions indoor and outdoor playing surfaces, providing consistent shock absorption across the field. Unlike synthetic turf fields that depend on infill alone, ArmaSport pad installations provide protection across 100 percent of the field, all the time – without loss or migration of the cushioning material to the edges.
TRANSPORTATION
TRANSPORTATION
We make foam for the transportation and mass-transit markets for use in trains, subways, ships, and trailers. Our foams are lightweight with excellent acoustic properties and comply with strict requirements for flame and smoke testing, and toxicity standards. Typical applications include gaskets, vibration and noise control, or cushioning.
