ZOTEK® N
We are currently optimising the manufacturing of our ZOTEK N material and look forward to sharing updates soon. To be first to hear the news, please fill in the form below.
Lightweight and low-density, outperforms competitor foams with equivalent density
High performance closed cell, cross-linked Nylon foam based on Polyamide 6.
ZOTEK® N combines all the recognised benefits of nylon with the advantages of a foam.
- Excellent temperature performance (up to 205◦C/ 401◦F)
- Excellent hydrocarbon, alcohol and ketones resistance
- Can be easily thermoformed into complex single components structures providing weight and cost reduction
- Low weight, buoyancy and thermal and acoustic insulation
- Best in class durability and longevity
The following grades are available:
- ZOTEK NB50
- ZOTEK NB70
ZOTEK® N foams are commonly used for the following application areas:
Hot Temperature Processing Aids (Click to find more info)
- Paint/powder coating masking material
- Manufacturing processing support for metals, plastics and composite panels.
- Dimensionally stable insulation material which can be inserted pre-high temperature process
- In process hot material handling aid (Click here to download case study)
High Temperature Insulation
- Temperature resistant seals & gaskets
- Thermal insulation and heat shields
- Air conditioning seals
- Domestic appliances (e.g. coffee machine insulation jacket)
- Battery cover insulation
Personal Protection
- Padded athletic clothing
- Hard body armor padding
Transportation
- Transmission seals (resistant to transmission fluids)
- Agricultural engine hood cover
- Energy absorbing composite panels and semi-structural parts (e.g. in the engine compartment)
- Core material in thermoplastic composites where it will allow higher temperatures to be used during processing thus reducing cycle times and increasing capacity
