OUR PORTFOLIO
Our Xolefin® Portfolio include 4 major foam products with unique characteristics, available in multiple forms and used in a variety of industries. They are ZEVA, ZXVM, ZXET and ZXPE
1. ZEVA Foam
Xolefin® ZEVA is an irradiation cross-linked, closed-cell ZEVA foam. The ZEVA products exhibit a fine cell structure, excellent mechanical properties at low densities, and have passed rigorous ISO 10993 and 10993-1 standards for medical foam. Xolefin® ZEVA can be produced in a wide variety of colors. Standard colors are white, black, charcoal and blue.
Product Characteristics
- Approved for direct and indirect skin contact
- Increased flexibility
- Conformability to irregular surfaces
- Excellent chemical and water resistance
- Strong adhesive anchorage
2. ZXVM Foam
Xolefin® ZXVM is an irradiation cross-linked, closed-cell EVA foam. The ZXVM products exhibit a fine cell structure and excellent mechanical properties at low densities. Xolefin® ZXVM foams are soft, conforming and ideal for medical tapes and other skin contact applications.
Product Characteristics
- Greatest flexibility, softness
- Soft aesthetically pleasing touch. Ideal for medical applications
- Excellent chemical and water resistance
- Strong adhesive anchorage
3. ZXET Foam
Xolefin® ZXET is an irradiation cross-linked, closed-cell, Polyolefin Alloy foam. The ZXET products exhibit a fine uniform cell structure and excellent mechanical properties. The ZXET products are Stearate free, making them adhesive-friendly and offering superior adhesive anchorage. Xolefin® ZXET foams are ideal tape substrates for the most demanding tape applications.
Product Characteristics
- Increased flexibility
- Conformability to irregular surfaces
- Excellent chemical and water resistance

WHY STEARATE FREE FOAM?
We do NOT use zinc stearate in any of our products.
Zinc stearate is a lubricant, known for repelling water and adhesives. It is widely used in the manufacturing of foam as a processing aid and release agent. As a result, it can have detrimental effects on the ability to bond adhesive to foam in the manufacturing of tapes, medical devices, etc. Zinc stearate is also known to migrate to the surface of the foam over time, thus greatly decreasing adhesion shelf life of foams in applications that require an adhesive coating.
