New England Foam supplies, converts & fabricates the following types of furniture foam:Furniture foam, also known as upholstery foam, is a flexible, open-cell type of polyurethane foam that has a near-infinite amount of applications due to the following characteristics:

Polyethylene foam case inserts provide superior protection & unparalleled durability for the interior of your case. Polyethylene foam is a lightweight material that is inherently non-abrasive, non-dusting & easy to fabricate. Polyethylene foam case inserts demonstrate superior shock absorption & vibration dampening properties & are impervious to bacteria, mildew & mold. Polyethylene foam case inserts have a high load bearing capacity, which helps end users reduce costs due to using less material without sacrificing protection. Great insulation properties along with a high-resistance to chemicals & solvents make polyethylene foam the ideal choice for packaging heavier items & for materials handling (dunnage) applications.

In applications where the filter foam will come into contact with a liquid-based solution, the filter foam should be manufactured with polyether-based polyols. In applications where the filter foam will come into contact with gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen &or carbon dioxide, the filter foam should be manufactured with polyester-based polyols.

Supplying reusable, as well as disposable, custom foam case inserts for over 25 years has presented New England Foam the knowledge & experience to provide clients with the most reliable & affordable custom foam cases available in the entire foam fabrication industry.

New England Foam supplies, converts & fabricates the following types of acoustical foam products for sonic absorption, diffusion & transmission control:

New England Foams custom case inserts for the packaging industry can be fabricated as one composite piece of foam for durability or multiple component pieces for accessibility. New England Foams custom foam case inserts can be custom designed to create multiple cavity depths ensuring the perfect fit for all of your individual components.

Pick-n-pluck, also known as diced, perforated & pinch & tear, is a component foam case insert system that is typically comprised of three layers of foam. The first layer of conventional polyurethane foam is to be used as the base, or pad, for the contents of the case. The second layer of polyurethane foam is pre-scored into tiny cubes that will inevitably be customized by each end-user; hence the term, pick-n-pluck. The third layer of polyurethane foam is convoluted, or egg-crated, & is utilized as a gripper, or lid, to hold the contents of the case in place.

New England Foams custom foam case inserts are utilized in commercial & industrial applications for presentation packaging & also in protective packaging; to organize the contents of the case while providing protection from shocks & drops.

Filter foam is the ideal material for applications where porosity, surface area & low-density are integral for success. In addition to fabricating filter foam products to custom designed specifications, New England Foam stocks filter foam in bun, roll & sheet forms, in porosities ranging from 10 PPI or pores per inch (coarse) to 100 PPI (fine) & those colors most requested: charcoal (black) & white.

Filter foam operates as a depth-loading filter, as opposed to a surface-loading filter, essentially trapping dust particles within its cells. The cell structure of filter foam is remarkable in that each cell has a dodecahedron shape (12 sided), the cells walls or struts are comprised entirely of organic polymers (polyurethane, polyether, polyester) & the empty space or windows, between each strut, comprise 95% - 98% of the filter foams mass.
