KN composite foam – December 2023
Product capability statement
KN composite foam is a versatile insulating foam offering sustainability, energy-efficiency, and fire-
safety benefits. It can be used in a variety of applications: from building insulation to void filling, and
advanced composite materials. Its non-combustible properties improve fire-safety concerns
associated with many combustible foam and insulation options making it suitable for use in
applications such as submersibles, oil exploration, aerospace structures, and battery safety. It mainly
comprises of air, water, and recycled and waste materials in line with the circular economy principles
making it a planet-friendly solution.
