    Uploaded by

    Mina Magdy
    ETHAFOAM Nova is a strong, resilient, low-density polyethylene foam plank material well-suited for applications requiring shock absorption, vibration dampening, insulation or buoyancy. It offers excellent strength and resistance to creep under load while being durable, lightweight and flexible. The closed-cell foam has good compression resistance and is water resistant with low thermal conductivity. It can be easily fabricated and is reusable/recyclable.
