What Are Closed Cell Foam Pads?
Closed cell foam pads are lightweight materials typically used for sleeping pads. They are designed to provide insulation and comfort during outdoor activities, including protective gear, backpacking and hiking. You will find a variety of cell foam pads, whether open or closed foam.
Closed cell foam pads, unlike open cell foam material, are completely closed, which means the air and moisture are unable to penetrate through the foam. As such, closed cell foam pads do not absorb moisture and their weight doesn’t become heavier through absorbing excess humidity. The closed structure also enhances the thermal insulation property of the foam. This makes closed cell foam pads more suitable for use in various weather conditions.
It is worth mentioning that closed cell foam is also firmer, compared to open cell foam.
The Advantages of Closed Cell Foam Pads
Closed cell foam pads offer several advantages that make them a popular choice among outdoor sports brands. First and foremost, they provide excellent insulation from the ground, due to the nature of the material, keeping the item they protect, or the wearer, comfortable and safe. This can be useful for protective knee pads or padded outfits. The closed-cell structure also makes them resistant to moisture. This has numerous benefits when it comes to insulation. Indeed, the closed cell foam pads will not be able to absorb moisture, which means they remain lightweight. They do not fill up like a sponge, which is a common complaint about open-cell structure.
Another key advantage of closed cell foam pads is their resilience. They are highly flexible, making them resilient to prolonged use. They are also unlikely to come to contact damage, thanks to their closed and cushioned structure. This makes them ideal for rugged environment use such as field workers who need to keep their electronic devices safe in a closed cell foam pads cover. Additionally, these pads are easy to clean and maintain, as they can be wiped down with a damp cloth with no fear of impacting their structure. They dry quickly and are soon ready to be used safely again.
Common Uses of Closed Cell Foam Pads
Closed cell foam pads have a wide range of applications beyond their traditional use as sleeping pads for outdoor camping adventures. At Ariaprene, we supply closed cell foam pads that are best suited for the following uses:
Insulation Function
Due to the airtightness of the closed cell foam, the material can be insulated. For example, this can be helpful for picnic bags, for instance.
- Heat insulator: During camping trips, closed cell foam picnic bags can keep hot food warm for longer, ensuring the heat doesn’t escape the bag.
- Cooler insulator: A picnic bag equipped with closed cell foam can create a safe temperature barrier. It can preserve the freshness of the food and beverage, preventing external heat from penetrating.
Cushion Function
This type of protection is best suited for sports and functional outfits, such as added pads on pants joints.
This can be used for cyclist’s trousers, for example. The closed cell foam pads can add the necessary cushioning for riding a bicycle. Similar uses are common in sports, such as horse riding, motorcycling, and also some contact sports.
Industrial Protection
Industrial protection that needs to be flexible and protective at the same time relies heavily on closed cell foam pads. For example, the straps used on construction sites are made with closed cell foam pads.
Protective Cover for 3C Products
3C products, including Computers, Consumer electronics, and Communication items, can always benefit from added protection. Closed cell foam pads can be the main material used for padded covers, such as a notebook protective cover, or a specialist laptop bag.
