Inside EVA: The Material Behind FoamSlot
Share
Your tools work hard. Their storage should, too.
At FoamSlot, we use dense, closed-cell EVA foam for its balance of heat resistance, structure, cushioning and durability.
Why EVA?
HEAT RESISTANT
Built to handle the residual heat of recently used power tools while maintaining a stable structure within its rated service range.
Typical service temperature: -79°C to 104°C / -110°F to 220°F
DENSE & STRUCTURED
A firm, resilient structure creates clean, defined tool cavities and helps keep tools securely positioned.
Typical density: ~61 kg/m³
IMPACT ABSORBING
Cushions tools from everyday bumps while providing solid structural support.
Compression deflection: 11.5 psi @ 25% · 20.8 psi @ 50%
RESILIENT
Designed to recover after repeated compression and everyday use.
Typical compression set: 7%
WATER & CHEMICAL RESISTANT
Closed-cell construction helps resist moisture, while EVA offers good resistance to many everyday chemicals and workshop contaminants.
LIGHTWEIGHT
Adds structure and protection without unnecessary bulk.
High-strength foam with a lightweight cellular structure.
