Zotefoams announces the launch of T-FIT® insulation products

11 February 2016 - Zotefoams plc, a world leader in cellular material technology, today announces that operations to produce a newly branded T-FIT® range of high-performance closed-cell foam insulation products are anticipated to commence in the second quarter of 2016. 

T-FIT® will be manufactured and sold through the Company's joint venture company, ZOTEK King Lai ("ZKL"), established with King Lai Group ("King Lai") in March 2015.  T-FIT® Clean will be the first product line produced at the new custom built moulding facility in China (KunShan) and will replace the existing T-TUBES® brand outside North America.  T-FIT® Clean is being manufactured to service the exacting demands of pipe and tube cleanroom insulation requirements in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries and will be manufactured from Zotefoams' elastomeric closed-cell foam, ZOTEK® F42HTLS.

David Stirling, Managing Director of Zotefoams, said:

"I am delighted to announce the launch of the newly branded T-FIT® product range through our joint venture company, ZOTEK King Lai.  This news builds on Zotefoams and King Lai's long-standing relationship in China.  King Lai's strong position in products for cleanroom markets continues to make them the ideal partner to accelerate the development of our unique materials."
