What is KNITFOAM?
KNITFOAM is a technical 3D knit made from 100% polyester – a mono-material that is fully recyclable. Its breathable structure, excellent cushioning properties, and high durability make it ideal for applications where padding, protection, and ergonomics are required.
Whether in the medical field for prosthetic padding, in sportswear for shock absorption, in vehicle interiors for ergonomic seating design, or as a functional feature in lifestyle products such as bags, shoes, or caps – KNITFOAM is a true multi-talent.
Smart Textiles Reimagined
KNITFOAM is particularly well-suited for smart textile concepts: The knit is ideal for integrating sensors and electronics. Its soft, dimensionally stable structure optimally supports e-textiles – perfect for wearable technologies with high wearing comfort.
