EPP
Expanded polypropylene. Robust, elastic and impact-absorbing, even under repeated loads.
Particle Foam Can Do
More Than You Think.
Particle foam is one of the most underrated materials of our time. Few people know it, and many leave its potential untapped.
One Material,
Endless Possibilities
Particle foams combine low weight with high temperature resistance and remarkable toughness. This interplay of physical and mechanical properties opens up applications that seemed unthinkable just a few years ago. With every new material and every new application, the limits of what is possible shift a little further. We are convinced that the potential of particle foam is only just beginning to unfold. And as a mold maker, we keep pace with every material development.
Lightweight
Particle foam consists of up to 98 percent air. The fused foam beads made of thermoplastic polymers form dimensionally stable parts that weigh extremely little and still withstand loads.
Protective
Particle foam absorbs impact energy through the controlled deformation of its cell structure, whether in packaging, in vehicles or in helmets. Elastic materials such as EPP deform largely reversibly and remain functional even under repeated loads.
Insulating
The air in its closed cells makes particle foam an effective thermal insulator, whether in building services, heat pumps or insulated boxes. Materials such as EPP also dampen sound and vibration.

And This Is Where We Come In.
Particle foam takes on almost any geometry, near net shape and in a single operation. How precise the part turns out depends on the mold it is made in. And on the experience that goes into it.
The Right Foam
for Every Application
Depending on the material, particle foams differ significantly in their properties. That is exactly their strength: density, stiffness, elasticity and heat resistance can be tailored precisely to your requirements.
EPS
Expanded polystyrene. Very lightweight, a good insulator and economical in large volumes.
EPE
Expanded polyethylene. Soft, flexible and resilient even in severe cold.
ETPU
Expanded thermoplastic polyurethane. Highly elastic, abrasion-resistant and with high rebound.
EmPPE
Expanded modified polyphenylene ether. Inherently flame-retardant and dimensionally stable up to about 120 °C.
EPA
Expanded polyamide. Stiff, compression-resistant and continuously heat-resistant up to around 150 °C.
A Material
in Motion
Particle foam keeps evolving: in its materials, in its processes and in toolmaking. With our experience, we make this progress tangible for our customers and turn it into real competitive advantages.
More Efficient Production
Molds that produce with less energy and in shorter cycles.
New Materials and Processes
High-performance foams for higher temperatures and loads, bio-based alternatives and steam-free processes.
Thinking Circular
Recyclable parts made from a single material that replace multi-material solutions.
Particle Foam Is
Just Getting Started.
We are always looking for new ideas and for partners who want to take particle foam further with us.
