Frequently Asked Medical Questions
Ask ZoteIQ a QuestionZotefoams materials are manufactured from high-performance polymers using our proprietary nitrogen expansion process. Unlike many conventional foams, our foams are produced without chemical blowing agents, resulting in exceptionally pure, uniform materials with no foaming agent residues.
Certain Zotefoams materials are compatible with commonly used sterilisation methods. Sterilisation performance can vary depending on the material grade, sterilisation process and application requirements. We recommend discussing your sterilisation needs with our technical team to identify a suitable material and validate performance for your specific application.
The right material depends on your application’s performance, regulatory and processing requirements. Zotefoams offers a range of lightweight, closed-cell foams with different combinations of cushioning, durability, chemical resistance, cleanability and biocompatibility characteristics. Use our Find Your Foam™ tool or speak to our technical team to identify the most appropriate grade for your application.
Zotefoams materials are latex-free, non-toxic and manufactured without chemical blowing agents, helping to minimise the risk of unwanted residues or leachables.
Yes. Zotefoams materials can be laminated, fused, heat bonded and thermoformed, making them suitable for a wide range of medical product designs and manufacturing processes.
Zotefoams’ manufacturing process is designed to deliver highly consistent material properties, with a uniform cell structure and reproducible performance. This consistency helps support predictable fabrication and reliable end-product performance.
Yes. Zotefoams’ closed-cell materials resist water and fluid absorption, making them easy to clean and helping support hygiene in medical and healthcare environments. Certain grades are also compatible with sterilisation processes, although suitability depends on the material grade, sterilisation method and application requirements.
