| A | Volara Type A is a general purpose cross-linked LDPE foam with an excellent chemical and physical resistance. Foam of this variety is often used in construction gap filler, industrial gaskets, custom packaging, flooring underlay, and bottle cap liners, as it contains FDA compliant materials acceptable for food contact. Because of its fine cellular structure, Type A foam can be compression molded and will thermoform. | PE | download | - |
| AF | Volara Type AF was developed to meet certain federal, military, and industry requirements on the flammability of cellular plastics. General purpose cross-linked LDPE foam with certain fire retardant properties. | PE | - | download |
| AS | Volara Type AS is an enhanced flexible closed-cell polyethylene foam that is crosslinked by means of a unique electron irradiation process. This results in a continuous smooth surface foam materials with a fine cell structure and superior heat stability with deep draw vacuum forming capabilities. | PE | download | download |
| M | Volara Type M is a very comparable grade to Volara Type A. Volara Type M offers higher temperature resistance than Type A along with a higher stiffness making Type M a good compression molding foam grade. | PE | download | download |
| S | Volara Type S has the best heat stability PE grade offered by Sekisui Voltek. Volara Type S has excellent dent recovery and deep draw vacuum forming capabilities | PE | download | - |
| EO | Volara Type EO foams are flexible, soft to the touch, closed cell EVA copolymer based materials that has excellent thermal insulation and strong adhesive anchorage foam. The conform-ability and softness of Volara Type EO, combined with the strength and toughness of a crosslinked EVA copolymer, has made this grade of foam one of the most recognized double sided foam tape substrates in North America. | EVA | download | download |
| G | Volara Type G foams are the most flexible, most conformable and softest to the touch offered by Sekisui Voltek. Compared with other Volara foams at comparable density, Volara Type G foams offer higher tensile strength and greater elongation to break. Volara Type G get their flexibility and toughness from high VA content EVA copolymer they are made from. | EVA | download | download |
| TS | Volara Type TS is specially formulated for the industrial tape and gasket markets. This material is a polyblend of two resin types, combined to provide the conform-ability, compression strength and toughness required to meet the demands of the mounting and assembly tape industries. | Blend | download | download |
| LM | Volara Type LM has superior heat stability (up to 270° F), good hardness, and improved thermal stability | PP | download | download |
| LSO | Volara Type LSO has excellent compression properties, improved thermal stability, suitable for component thermoforming application | PP | download | - |
| R | Volara Type R is a general purpose cross-linked PE foam made with recycled resin. This foam has many of the same uses and properties as Volara Type A foam, but paves the way for a more sustainable future. | Recycled PE | - | - |
| RSH | Volara Type RSH has a rigid alloy foam (RAF) specifically designed for low pressure molding applications | PP | download | - |
| SVS | Volara Type SVS has soft PP foam designed for automotive interiors | PP | download | - |
| VSO | Volara Type VSO is designed for Male Vacuum forming applications, good thermal stability | PP | download | - |
| VSX | Volara Type VSX is designed for female vacuum forming applications, excellent deep draw capabilities, superior thermal stability | PP | download | - |
