Our Foams

Formax™ 

Formax™ is made from a range of high grade proprietary thermo-formable polyolefin closed cell foams made specifically for Formthtoics™.  The main foam is proprietary polyethylene foam which is firmer, more resistant to heat, and will hold a moulded shape longer, better and more accurately than an EVA. It is non-porous and flexible, lightweight, supportive, resistant to fungi and mould, and hyper-allergenic. 

It is available in single density (one layer) and dual density (two layers) providing a supportive base with a softer top. There are a variety of densities (hardness) to meet clinical and patient requirements. Select the density based on the amount of support and control required. ie a harder product for more control or a softer product for new orthotic wearers.

Single Density	Dual Density

ShockStop

ShockStop foam is a totally unique and revolutionary hybrid EVA polymer foam. This foam has maximum shock absorption and cushioning, reducing impact on muscles, joints and tendons. The top layer deflects impact 100% more than other standard foams, while the firm black base maintains control and stability.

Formax and ShockStop foams are made in New Zealand by Ultralon Products. Ultralon Products is recognised as a world leader in the manufacturing of high quality closed cell foam.
