Titan AV offer a variety of highly versatile foam, but which foam is fit for your purpose?
Let's take a closer look at the different types of Titan AV foam:
EVA Foam
Firm + Water Resistant + Buoyant + Closed Cell
EVA is the hardest or firmest type of Titan AV foam. Capable of high impact and extremely durable, EVA is commonly used for road cases, transport packaging, boat fenders, yoga mats, camping mats and used as targets in sports like archery.
Being a closed cell foam has its advantages, water resistance and good buoyancy.
Closed cell foam has airtight cells so air doesn't get inside the structure. Generally closed cell foam is harder or firmer while open cell foam is softer or less firm.
Benefits of EVA Foam
EVA foam is a non toxic material and can be exposed to water without absorbing it, useful to prevent moisture & mould build up. With great insulation characteristics (against heat and cold) EVA foam is perfect for use in food vans for keeping a more even temperature around your products.
EVA foam is a suitable substitute for natural rubber, vinyl, neoprene, polyurethane and PVC foams, wood composites, felts, fiberglass, and mineral wool.
Uses for EVA Foam
Thinner sheets of EVA foam are quite flexible. Titan AV 5mm EVA foam is popular for shaping when designing cosplay costumes, movie/stage props and craft activities. With EVA, you can make anything from a sword and shield to some puzzle piece mats for the kids.
Being lightweight yet having those high impact properties makes EVA perfect for road cases and packaging during travel. Use the foam sheets to place in between your computer monitors or TV screens while in transit, perfect for karaoke hosts and those doing corporate presentations on the road.

EPE Foam
Semi-Rigid + Flexible/Springy + Easy To Cut + Closed Cell
Lightweight, semi-rigid and flexible - some would call it “springy” - EPE foam (also known as pearl foam or kaizen foam). Similar to EVA, EPE is commonly used in packaging, used for impact and shock absorption, vibration dampening, and surface protection. EPE foam is also perfect for marine activities like boat & kayak seating, pool toys, swimming aids...& pool noodles are made from EPE foam.
EPE is a medium density foam making it easy to cut and therefore perfect for DIY cutting spaces to custom fit for your tools, audio gear, cameras, ipads/tablets and hobby gear.
If you prefer a precision cut insert EPE foam can be CNC machine cut to ensure all of your gear has that perfect fit.
XPE Foam
Lightweight + Waterproof + Flexible + Closed Cell
The newest addition to our Titan AV range of foam is XPE foam. XPE foam is a low cost expanded polyethylene foam with crosslinked and closed cell structure. XPE foam is a lightweight, waterproof, flexible and compressible foam that has great thermal resistance & a smooth even texture surface finish.
Commonly used in air conditioning ducting, industrial noise and anti-rattle and vibration dampening, impact absorption and protection. XPE is used in concrete expansion joints and for substrate separation and gap filling, for packaging, thermal barriers and thermal insulation of air conditioning ducting, for anti-slip and marine uses, spa-top thermal blankets, as well as for hobby and craft projects.
We sell XPE foam by the metre or 100m roll.
PU Foam
Soft + Lightweight + Open Cell
Soft and lightweight, PU foam is an open cell flat foam. Open cell foam is less dense than other foam and more ‘squishy’ like a kitchen sponge!
Most commonly used in a road case as a base layer or lid liner for impact and shock absorption and surface protection. Easily cut to size making it ideal for customising your camera cases, drone cases and or any case requiring a custom foam insert.
PU foam also has some acoustic properties and will minimise reverberation and echo slightly. Perfect for when you want a tighter sound but don’t want to completely get rid of that natural reverb in your home studio or band rehearsal room.
Diced Foam
Soft + Lightweight + Easily Customisable + Open Cell
Pick n Pluck foam is essentially an open cell PU foam that has pre-cut 1.5cm x 1.5cm cubes. This is the easiest and quickest way to customise your own foam insert. Simply pluck out the foam cubes you don't require to make custom spaces for your gear.
