Armacell EnsoLite Closed Cell Foam
EnsoLite IR Series (PVC/NBR/CR)
Overview
The EnsoLite IR Series comprises soft, low- to medium-density closed-cell foams made from a blend of PVC, nitrile (NBR), and neoprene (CR), available in continuous rolls—ideal for fabricating gaskets, seals, and cushioning components. Two variants are offered:
- IR42: Soft/medium firmness—low to medium density—meets ASTM D 1056 2B2 standards.
- IR41: Soft, low-density—meets ASTM D 1056 2B1 standards.
Why Choose EnsoLite IR Series?
- Tailored Density Options: Choose between IR41 (softer) and IR42 (firmer) to fit application-specific firmness needs.
- Reliable Flame & Chemical Resistance: Meets UL and ASTM standards while resisting oils and fuels.
- Easy to Fabricate: Skinned surfaces and continuous rolls simplify production workflows.
- Multi-Sector Versatility: Great fit for automotive, aerospace, industrial, HVAC, marine, and ergonomic cushioning tasks.
Features
- Flame Performance: Both IR41 and IR42 offer excellent flame resistance, with UL listings including UL 94 HBF and UL 50E (gaskets & seals).
