Polyurethane Foam
EMCO Industrial Plastics carries Polyurethane foam available in strip, sheet, roll, or custom gasket forms. Polyurethane foam is a versatile material used for shock absorption and cushioning. It is a common choice for packaging and insulation applications. Available in open cell type, with pre-applied single or double-sided Acrylic Adhesive backing options, and a smooth finish.
Our Polyurethane materials are available in thicknesses of 1/8” to 4”, including all standard iterations of inch and metric thickness measurements across this range. Continuous strips, rolls, and sheets are available in any width from 1/4” to 54”, and lengths up to 160’. In-house CNC gasket cutting, machining, and waterjet cutting capabilities promote tight tolerances, repeatable accuracy, and rapid part development across our entire Polyurethane offering.
