Volextra

Volextra is extrusion coated Volara. Extrusion coating adds a wide range of aesthetic and performance qualities to the superior properties of Volara's crosslinked, closed-cell polyolefin foam. In the Volextra process, thickness, color, and texture are tightly controlled to adapt its properties to a customer's specific needs.

Key Benefits

• Thickness range: can be manufactured with most Volara grades from 1/32" to 1/4" thickness; composites requiring greater thickness or mixed densities can be obtained by lamination.
  
• Coating Resin: HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PP, EVA, TPE, TPR
  
• Coating thickness: 4-40mils (min and max dependent on resin)
  
• Textures: many variations through choice of composite and embossing pattern
  
• Additives: can be manufactured with fire-retardant Volara grades; fire retardants, and UV inhibitors can be added to the coating
  
• Conversion processes: die cutting, waterjet cutting, vacuum forming, compression molding, lamination, and embossing
  
• Embossing patterns: gloss, burlap, and matte; custom embossing patterns can be considered for high-volume applications
  
• Colors: available in a range of bright colors; custom colors are available
• Volextra is equivalent to Hardlon in Japan
