Component Foam for Flotation DevicesWhen the summer months heat up, a refreshing dip in the pool, lake or ocean provides relief and a fun activity for everyone. Armacell makes a wide range of closed-cell engineered foam materials for personal flotation devices (PFD) such as life vests, pool floats and water accessories. The recreation industry must meet strict guidelines and Armacell’s ArmaSport®, and OleTex® foam solutions supply materials that help meet those requirements.

Whether you are kayaking, fishing or just out on a boat enjoying the water, ensuring you have a safe, U.S. Coast Guard approved flotation device is of vital importance. Manufacturers of life vests rely on Armacell’s foam solutions when making offshore or near shore life vests, flotation aids, throw-able buoys, or floating cushions.
