One of ABLE’s standout offerings is our wide range of foam materials, designed for high-performance applications in sectors such as automotive, electronics, construction, healthcare, and renewable energy. Through custom converting solutions, ABLE customizes foam products to meet exact specifications, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and efficiency.

What Sets ABLE’s Foam Solutions Apart?

ABLE performs advanced foaming operations on various foam products from open-cell and closed-cell categories which involve polyurethane and polyethylene and EPDM and silicone and cross-linked foams. Foams are transformed through specific manufacturing processes into useful components because their characteristics are matched to particular application needs. ABLE applies advanced equipment alongside substantial experience of high-performance materials to convert foam into dependable components which provide both performance and valuable results.

Common Technical Foams ABLE Converts

Polyethylene (PE) Foam: PE foam possesses three major advantages which include light weight together with durability against moisture and resistance to chemicals. The material works well for packing applications alongside its insulation duties and its role as a structural cushion.
Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Foam: EVA foam offers excellent flexibility and impact absorption. It is widely used in footwear, electronic components, and sporting goods for comfort and protection.
Polyurethane (PU) Foam: PU foam delivers superior cushioning and noise reduction properties. It is commonly applied in automotive interiors and electronic devices for comfort and acoustic control.
Silicone Foam: Silicone foam withstands high temperatures and offers excellent sealing and compression set resistance. It is used in aerospace, LED lighting, and medical devices where performance under stress is critical.

Applications of ABLE’s Foam Products

Electronics and Semiconductors: Electronic components need protective foams which provide insulation against electrical flow and regulate heat. ABLE offers precision die-cut foam gaskets and pads for shock absorption, vibration dampening, and ESD protection, especially in smartphones, laptops, and printed circuit boards.

Automotive: ABLE’s foams are used in NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) reduction, weather stripping, gaskets, and interior cushioning. These foam applications enhance driving comfort and vehicle durability while meeting industry standards for flame resistance and long-term reliability.
Medical and Healthcare: Foams in this sector must meet strict hygiene and safety standards. ABLE converts medical-grade foams for wound dressings, surgical pads, diagnostic device components, and orthopedic supports, providing softness, flexibility, and biocompatibility.
Construction and Insulation: Foam tapes and sheets from ABLE serve as effective thermal and sound insulators, commonly used in HVAC systems, window glazing, and building facades. The materials help improve energy efficiency and structural integrity.
Renewable Energy: In solar panels and battery modules, ABLE supplies foam converting that offer sealing, insulation, and cushioning properties. Beside strength improvements the materials maintain durability against environmental effects to strengthen both safety and operational capabilities.

High-Performance Materials from Rogers Corporation

BISCO® Silicone Foams

BISCO® by Rogers Corporation is a high-performance silicone foam known for its temperature resistance, compression set resistance, and flame retardancy. ABLE converts BISCO® materials into custom gaskets, pads, and seals that are ideal for:

Aerospace and Aviation: The FST requirements pose no challenge for BISCO® foams because they fulfill the standards involving flammability and smoke alongside toxicity testing. This material serves as a cushion for seating combined with its uses in insulation of systems and its role in sealing components.
LED Lighting and Outdoor Electronics: The material ensures weather protection by forming UV-stable and water-resistant seals to stop moisture penetration.
Battery and EV Systems: Offers high-temperature insulation and vibration dampening in electric vehicle applications.

PORON® Polyurethane Foams

PORON®, also by Rogers Corporation, is a closed-cell polyurethane foam widely used for its excellent compression resistance, shock absorption, and long-term durability. ABLE converts PORON® into components such as:

Consumer Electronics: Gaskets and impact pads for smartphones, tablets, and laptops—providing consistent sealing and protection in slim devices.
Medical Devices: Cushioning layers for wearable devices, orthotics, and diagnostic equipment due to their skin-safe and flexible properties.
Automotive Interiors: Vibration and noise-reducing inserts, along with dashboard gasketing for a more comfortable driving experience.
