A new generation of engineered foam materials from Ensinger
Material Solutions for Applications in the Aerospace, Electronics and Medical Industries
With performance requirements constantly increasing, conventional bead foams, such as polypropylene and polystyrene, often reach their limits. High temperatures, prolonged mechanical stress or exposure to aggressive chemicals are difficult to manage with traditional materials and are often uneconomical.
Fine Cell Structure and Tailored Density
Production uses a newly developed, energy-efficient process that enables a fine and homogeneous cell structure to be achieved. The density and material properties can be precisely tailored to specific customer requirements – from ultralight components to load-bearing structural parts.

Wide Range of Applications
Ensinger's bead foams are lightweight, robust and impact-resistant. Depending on the base polymer, they withstand temperatures of up to 300 °C (PEEK) and are highly resistant to oils, greases, cleaning agents and solvents. These properties open up new possibilities for demanding applications in sectors such as aerospace, electronics, medical technology and mobility.
Product Formats in the Pilot Phase
The product range is currently in the pilot phase. Ensinger supports customers from the early stages of the development process. Project partners benefit from tailored advice, customisable material properties and strong technical support. The aim is to develop high-performance bead foam solutions that offer both functional and economic advantages. Beads in various densities and foam sheets in sample sizes are currently available for development and testing. Custom-moulded parts can also be developed on a project basis.
