Trading Statement

Zotefoams PLC
02 November 2005


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                           2 November 2005

                         Zotefoams plc ('the Company')

      Trading update and announcement of termination of offer discussions

The Board of Zotefoams is pleased to announce that, since the interim statement
on 18 August 2005, trading has exceeded its expectations.  Particularly pleasing
is the growth of our recently launched ZOTEK(R) fluoropolymer foams with sales
anticipated to exceed $1 million for 2005.

The announcement made on 18 August 2005 also updated the market on the status of
discussions about a possible offer for the Company.  The Board confirms that
discussions over a possible offer for the Company have now been terminated.  As
a result, the Company is no longer engaged in any discussions regarding the
possibility of an offer for the Company and, accordingly, is no longer deemed to
be in an offer period for the purposes of the City Code on Takeovers and
Mergers.

The Board intends to give a further trading update in mid-December prior to the
Company's year end.
