Volextra® delivers an extra dimension in foam composites.
Our 
Volextra process is an extremely flexible extrusion coating capability. Using state of the art technology, solid plastic is permanently melt bonded to our Volara® foams. Polyolefin based coatings can be engineered to match your design needs, in a range of thicknesses from 0.0015" to 0.055". Volara foam is available in a density range from 2 to 20 pcf, and foam thickness range from .015" to .375". Volextra provides a decorative advantage and allows for the design of composite materials with high-performance characteristics. Volextra is abrasion, chemical, and moisture resistant. It is highly durable and ideal for demanding applications.
