The Different Types of Volara

Volara 2A is a low density cross-linked polyethylene that is often favored as a lightweight and durable option for product packaging, and gap filler. Highly flexible and fine celled, Volara 2A can conform to curves for use as insulating liners on vehicle paneling.

Volara 4E0 is an EVA copolymer material with superior tensile strength and tear resistance, making for a more durable and tough product. For this reason, 4E0 makes for a great alternative to the 2A when the foam will be subject to more flexing or twisting while in use, making it a viable choice for some impact protection, and insulating liner for moving machine parts.
