Sports Equipment and Clothing
Shoulder pads, bras, shin pads and other sports equipment are just a few of the many ways foam can be used in the textile industry.
Foam is popular for use in clothing such as shoulder pads and bras as it has the ability to keep its shape and is soft to touch.
In the sporting equipment sector, high shock absorbing foams are used for protective clothing such as shin pads, helmets etc for sports such as cricket, ice hockey and horse riding.
Foams are also used in the industrial industry for helmet liners, ear defenders, goggles, elbow and knee protectors. Again this is due to their shock absorbing and comfort properties.
Foam commonly used for clothing are:
- EVA Foams
- EPP Foams
- Latex Foams
The foam is usually converted by NBR foams
