                       Announcement of Marketing Alliance



    Advanced insulation systems for biotechnology and semi-conductor markets



Zotefoams (LSE: ZTF.L), the foam technologists, and UFP Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq: UFPT), a manufacturer of packaging and component products, today
announce that they have formalised an agreement to work together to target the
market for high performance insulation systems.



UFP Technologies ('UFPT') has, using Zotefoams' ZOTEK (R) F fluoropolymer foams,
created an advanced insulation system specifically developed for stainless steel
process lines in clean environments.  Branded as T-Tubes (R), these insulation
systems are designed to meet the exacting standards required in clean process
environments in industries such as biotechnology, pharmaceutical, semiconductor
and nuclear.  'We believe there is a significant unmet need for clean
environment insulation solutions and our partnership with Zotefoams allows us to
bring a unique value added solution to the market', said R. Jeffery Bailly,
Chairman, CEO and President of UFPT.



Zotefoams and UFPT will work together to develop T-Tubes as a worldwide brand.
UFPT will market and develop T-Tubes in North America while Zotefoams will be
responsible for marketing and development in Europe, Middle East and Asia.
Initially all conversion of foam into finished products will be based in the
UFPT facility in Georgetown, MA, USA with foam supplied from Zotefoams' facility
in Croydon, UK.



'This is a new and exciting market for both companies and further validation of
the unique qualities of our new fluoropolymer foams.  I am delighted to be
developing the T-Tubes product alongside UFPT, a customer of Zotefoams for over
20 years', said David Stirling, Managing Director of Zotefoams plc.
