Apollo Foam provides innovative, custom engineered polyethylene foam solutions globally
Apollo Foam specialise in converting polyethylene and polyurethane foam for the civil, business, military, and aerospace industries.
With their closed cell structure, low water absorption, impermeable to water vapour, excellent insulating properties, durable, flexible, and long life it’s no surprise that these foams are well-utilised in the aerospace field.
The rise in demand for low-cost carrier airlines has increased the demand for aerospace grade foam in commercial aircraft settings, both Polyurethane and Polyethylene foam provide superior insulation in varied temperature ranges and reduce air leakage.
Here are some of the applications for the commercial aircraft market:
Lineside tool control can be manufactured from low density Polyethylene foam in various different densities and colours.
It can be routed to provide visual aid when working on aircrafts, offering protection for the tools in situ and keeping the area free from obstruction and hazards. Dunnage and lineside packaging is also used during engine maintenance, packaging kits, and after-market kits, making it applicable and useful for aerospace service engineers.
These foams are not only used in commercial aerospace settings, but in military ones, too. The same requirements apply and more, with Military aircraft needing advanced and enhanced protection and reliability from the materials that are used.
Applications include:
Various densities and flame retardancy ratings means that open cell polyurethane is the ideal material to be used for commercial aircraft seating.
Polyurethane can be used on its own in conjunction with a Polyethylene foam to offer a composite material.
Polyurethane foam is less dense, allowing it to be used when softness and comfort are required, which makes it a primary choice for aircraft seating. Polyurethane foam is an excellent thermal insulation provider more permeable to moisture vapour and provides less resistance to pressure.
Polyethylene and Polyurethane foams offer performance, durability , and protection, along with light-weight structures that make them perfect for Aerospace application.
Our polyethylene foams are converted to our customers’ individual requirements from split sheets, pressed foam fitments, waterjet and routed polyethylene foam components for all market sectors.
