Whether in recreational sports, professional sports or on construction sites: helmets made from EPS provide maximum protection in the event of strong impacts. The material absorbs energy efficiently and combines extremely low weight with high dimensional stability, ensuring even severe impacts are absorbed effectively. EPS particle foam is water resistant and durable, making it a reliable choice for various helmet applications. Some helmets are also made from EPP or blends of EPP and EPS to combine protection, low weight and long-term durability.
Advantages:
- Low weight with high dimensional stability
- High wearing comfort
- Very high absorption of kinetic energy in crashes
- Excellent shock absorption, disperses impact energy
- High compressive strength at low weight
- Temperature and weather resistant
Applications:
- Sport helmet (cycling, skiing, football)
- Construction
Water sports equipment made from EPP is designed specifically for use on and in the water, where low weight, stability and buoyancy are essential. The material retains its shape even under repeated load, reliably absorbs forces and adapts to dynamic movement requirements. At the same time, EPP is water resistant and extremely durable, allowing boards, flotation devices and other water sports products to be used over long periods of time.
Advantages:
- Low weight with high dimensional stability
- Reusable with high resilience
- Long lasting
- Very low water absorption due to closed cell structure
- High buoyancy
- High design freedom in shape, color and surface textures
- High energy absorption
- Temperature and weather resistant
- Easy to clean
- Free from harmful substances and hygienically safe
Applications:
- Surfboards
- SUP cores
- Swimming aids
- Bodyboards
Protective equipment made from ETPU and EPP provides reliable protection where it matters most — in knee and elbow pads, back protectors or shin guards. ETPU in particular adapts well to the body and remains dimensionally stable even during intensive use. At the same time, EPP and ETPU are lightweight, comfortable to wear, easy to clean and durable, which makes them especially popular in sports and leisure applications.
Advantages:
- Low weight with high dimensional stability
- Reusable with high resilience
- Long lasting
- High damping performance
- Mechanical durability even under continuous load
- Temperature and weather resistant
- Easy to clean
- Free from harmful substances and hygienically safe
Applications:
- Knee and elbow pads
- Back protectors
- Shin guards
Footwear and sports equipment made from ETPU are designed for movement, dynamics and repeated loading. The material responds elastically, returns energy and maintains its properties even under intensive use. Its resistance to moisture and wear makes it a highly versatile material for a wide variety of sports and leisure products.
Advantages:
- Low weight with high dimensional stability
- Long service life
- Good abrasion and fatigue resistance
- High resilience even under continuous load across a wide temperature range
- High rebound effect as well as high elasticity and damping
- Water repellent
- Temperature and weather resistant
- Free from harmful substances and hygienically safe
Applications:
- Shoe soles
- Bicycle tires
- Bicycle saddles
