HIMILAN™ foam is non cross-linked, yet shows higher tensile strength and hardness under high expansion ratio compared to typical ethylene based resin foams.We think HIMILAN™ foam could be a lightweight solution for the applications typical foams could not be used due to insufficient physical properties.

Indentation Test of Foam - HIMILAN™ vs Ethylene-based resins
Compare foams at the same expansion ratio, HIMILAN™ foam shows smaller change of shape (pushed depth) than EVA foam due to its superior hardness.
