Engineering
With more than 40 years of expertise in cross-linked polyolefin foams, NMC Termonova develops engineered XLPa foam solutions for demanding industrial and converting applications worldwide.
Designed for application-specific requirements, these materials support OEM processes across multiple sectors.
Designed to meet demanding technical requirements
NOMATEC® XLPa and XOMER® are cross-linked polyethylene foam solutions for applications where insulation, sealing, protection and comfort must perform together across industries such as construction, marine, packaging, automotive and aerospace.
Available in closed-cell and open-cell foam structures, they support a wide range of technical requirements, from moisture-resistant insulation and sealing to flexible cushioning and energy absorption.
Supplied as rolls, sheets and blocks, these XLPa foam materials can be adapted to converting and OEM processes while maintaining consistent material performance.
Shock & vibration absorption
Efficient energy absorption helps reduce impact and vibration, supporting protective packaging, industrial cushioning and transport applications.
Chemical resistance
The cross-linked polyethylene structure contributes to stability when exposed to oils, solvents and other substances, depending on application conditions.
Mechanical performance
Balanced flexibility and strength support use under repeated or continuous mechanical load within defined conditions.
Water resistance & buoyancy
Closed-cell structures provide resistance to water ingress and enable use in buoyancy-related applications.
Customisation
Material formulations can be adapted to meet specific technical requirements, including adjustments to mechanical, thermal or surface properties.
Applications Across Challenging Industries
The post-processing capabilities of NOMATEC® XLPa foams enable their use across a range of industrial applications.
By combining selected NOMATEC® grades with compatible materials, we develop solutions designed to meet specific technical and performance requirements.
Processing Designed for Enhanced Material Performance
NOMATEC® cross-linked polyethylene foams are manufactured by extrusion, ensuring consistent material properties. Key parameters such as density, flexibility, and durability can be adjusted within defined ranges to meet specific application requirements.
A variety of conversion and finishing options allows NOMATEC® foams to be adapted for a range of industrial applications.
Lamination
Combining different materials into a single, unified structure.
Embossing
Applying surface structures through heat to create defined textures.
Precision cutting and shaping
Producing custom-fit components to exact specifications.
Welding
Bonding multiple foam layers into thicker sheets or blocks.
Slitting and splicing
Allowing precise sizing and continuous material processing.
Processing extrusion
Produced via a continuous extrusion process, NOMATEC® XLPa foams offer consistent quality and customizable properties.
