The hot deformation of polyethylene foams makes it possible to obtain all the necessary shapes. Thus, thermocompressed PE foam allows the manufacture and design of parts for the medical comfort of a patient. It is also essential in the protection of amateur or high-level athletes. From cross-linked PE foam such as Plastazote, XVA or XPE type (also called LD29 or LD45), we manufacture a specific mold. Then, from this custom-made mold, with thermocompression, we manufacture all the parts in series for many applications in many fields.
PE foam mask manufacturing for medicine, sports and leisure
Polyethylene (PE) is used to manufacture foam protection for various sports and leisure activities such as a paintball vest or bike helmets, mountain bikes, etc.
indeed, PE foam is soft and light enough to take the shape of the body. In addition, its resistance offers good protection. It is therefore appreciated for all risky sports, violent or contact sports. Also, thermo-compressed foam can be used to manufacture safety equipment such as motorcyclist protection elements, the inside of safety helmets, etc. Finally, we produce foam masks for the medical sector with the possibility of making products that will provide maximum safety and comfort to patients.
For this medical application, we used a thermo-compressed EVA foam to form the protective box in which we inserted a water-absorbent foam cutout (sponge foam type), which absorbs blood in the event of leakage during handling.
Machining and wire cutting of PE foam allows the creation of technical parts with great precision, granting the durability and comfort of these orthotics.
Our technical foams allow the manufacture of knee pads, elbow pads, shock absorbing vests, belts, etc.
Custom-made production of your parts
The hot deformation of PE foams makes it possible to obtain all the shapes necessary for the design of parts for comfort, support and protection, in medical, sports or leisure activities.
From cross-linked PE foams such as Plastazote, XVA or XPE (also called LD29 or LD45) we manufacture a whole range of serial parts from moulds for many applications.
Medical foams
For this medical application, we used an EVA foam that is laminated with a mesh for perfect hygiene and appearance.
PE foams such as EVA, but also PTZ or LD29 are very often used for the manufacture of medical parts and foam comfort parts.
Orthopedics requires cut, machined or molded foam parts to allow good comfort of the splints. These foams must be reusable, washable and resistant to antibacterial treatments.
Our plants are equipped for cutting medical foams of all shapes and sizes.
For these particular applications, we generally process flexible PU foams (foam pads, foam filters) or semi-rigid foams in PE such as Plastazote, (LD29 foam), XVA foam or XPE foam.

Proud to be a sustainable leader in our field, we’ve been committed to the cause from our very beginnings. From launching our world-first 100% recyclable padded bag to developing
a group-wide waste-free cradle-to-cradle’ approach, sustainability is at the heart of every decision we make.
So how exactly do we do what we do, sustainably?
Because we’re 100% committed to what we call our ‘circular economy’ and ‘cradle-to-cradle’ products – which basically means that none of our waste ends up in the incinerator or landfill. In fact, we have no waste. Everything is reused. And we do this in two main ways.
