“Thermal, dielectric, structural—our foams solve for extremes that most materials can’t handle.”
Built for environments that push the limits
When you’re designing for extreme conditions—from offshore wind farms to high-speed radar domes—you can’t use standard materials. You need foams that handle pressure, heat, moisture, and vibration while keeping their shape and performance.
Emkay supplies closed-cell structural foams designed to perform in the harshest settings. These materials don’t absorb moisture, resist thermal distortion, and retain mechanical strength even under sustained load. That’s why they’re trusted in energy, aerospace, and telecom sectors where reliability isn’t optional.
Signal clarity under pressure
In radomes and antenna housings, dielectric performance is just as critical as strength. Our foams deliver low-loss properties across a broad frequency range, ensuring signal integrity even in high-speed or high-vibration conditions.
Engineering trust
We work closely with design teams to select the right foam for each challenge. Need low thermal expansion? High compressive strength? Specific frequency transparency? We’ll match your needs to the right material—and get it to you fast.
Because when your component has to perform at 30,000 feet, on a turbine blade, or under a satellite dish, you need confidence that starts with the core.
Delivery that meets demand
With high stock levels and short lead times, Emkay helps clients move from lab to field with minimal delay. Whether it’s a new design or a retrofit, we’re here to deliver performance you can build on.
