Armacell EnsoLite Closed Cell Foam
EnsoLite IG Series (PVC/NBR/CR)
Overview
The EnsoLite IG Series is a family of soft, low-density, elastomeric closed-cell foams made from a blend of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber), and CR (neoprene). They meet ASTM D1056 classifications ranging from soft to medium grades, depending on the specific variant (IG1, IG2, IG3).
Series Breakdown
- IG1 – Soft, low density; meets ASTM D1056 2B1
- IG2 – Medium; meets ASTM D1056 2A2 / 2C2 / 2B2
- IG3 – Medium firmness and density; meets ASTM D1056 2B3
Why Choose EnsoLite IG Series
- Tailored Performance — Choose from soft to medium density depending on your needs (IG1 for softness, IG3 for more structure).
- Certified Safety — Complies with key flame safety standards including UL and FAA.
- Durable in Harsh Conditions — Combines mechanical resilience with chemical and flame resistance.
- Versatile Fabrication — Ideal for adhesive lamination, precision cutting, and functional customization.
- Broad Applicability — Trusted solution for industries demanding high-quality gasketing, sealing, and shock absorption.
Features
- Fire Safety: Delivers excellent flame performance. The IG1 variant, for example, meets FMVSS 302 burn-rate requirements, is UL-listed (UL 94 5VA / HF-1 / V-0), and complies with FAA FAR 12-second vertical burn standards.
- Oil & Fuel Resistance: Exhibits strong resilience against oils and fuels—suitable for automotive, aerospace, and industrial settings.
- Good Compression Recovery: Retains shape after compression, maintaining performance in dynamic or load-bearing applications.
