EPDM & Neoprene
Specialised foam materials engineered for extreme environments in defence, aerospace, and industrial sectors
At Kewell Converters, we’ve spent over 50 years developing high-quality foam solutions for demanding applications. Our bespoke foam conversion expertise, combined with a deep understanding of specialised foam materials like EPDM and neoprene, allows us to solve complex engineering challenges with precision, efficiency, and durability.
Whether you need high-performance gaskets, seals, protective foam inserts, or highly customised foam parts, Kewell Converters has the materials knowledge, design experience, and manufacturing capabilities to deliver consistently high-quality results.
Why EPDM & neoprene foam?
Both EPDM rubber foams and neoprene foams are durable, flexible, and highly resistant to harsh environmental conditions, making them the preferred choice for mission-critical applications.
Key benefits of EPDM foam:
- Exceptional weather and ozone resistance: ideal for long-term outdoor use, resisting UV, rain, and temperature extremes
- Water and chemical resistance: acts as a durable seal or barrier, even in harsh environments
- Flame-retardant options: available in UL94 and M1/F1 rated formats for use in fire-sensitive sectors
- Custom formats: supplied as sheets, rolls, or fabricated into foam shapes and components to meet exact specifications
- Self-adhesive options: enhances ease of installation in production environments
Key benefits of neoprene foam:
- Superior vibration dampening: absorbs shocks and reduces noise—perfect for aerospace, automotive, and defence applications
- Broad temperature tolerance: remains stable and flexible from -40°C to +100°C and beyond
- Oil and solvent resistance: suitable for applications involving contact with fuels, lubricants, and industrial chemicals
- Compression recovery: maintains shape and sealing properties under pressure and repeated use
- Lightweight yet tough: easy to handle without compromising on performance or protection
Bespoke foam conversion for high-performance applications
At Kewell Converters our foam fabrication process includes full CAD design, prototyping, CNC routing, and precision machining to ensure every component is optimised for its end-use. Whether you’re working on a defence-grade protective case insert, a flight-certified panel seal, or an environmental barrier for electronics, we adapt the foam to fit your exact needs.
We regularly produce:
- Protective foam inserts for sensitive equipment during transit
- Sealing gaskets and foam strips for enclosures exposed to weather and chemicals
- Vibration damping pads for mechanical and aerospace systems
- Custom foam shapes for interior panels, control units, or packaging
- High-performance foam parts for integration into larger assemblies
