VOMATEX supplies a wide range of foams to the clothing industry and other branches worldwide. Our most expensive but also most durable foams are made of silicone. They are available in impermeable qualities for dry pressing (e.g. transfer printing) and permeable qualities for steam pressing.

The perforated VAU-SIK foamed silicone is made out of high quality silicone. It is permeable and can be used directly upon the hot metal plate. VAU-SIK sheets will last up to 5 years, they are durable elastic, distribute the steam and protect the upper layers and the clothing. VAU-SIK sheets are the indispensable base for every high quality padding.

VOMATEX also supplies unperforated silicone sheets for pressing without steam at thermo printing, bonding, fusing, heat glueing, ...

The VOMAPOR silicone/foams are MADE IN GERMANY and offer great advantages because of the valued raw materials and the unique production method using ultrasound vibrations which distribute the silicone evenly through the PU-foam base. This technique prevents from the formation of air bubbles and improves the heat resistance and the durability of the foam. VOMAPOR extends the replacement interval and provides a constant ironing quality. It is not hazardous for the environment and thus protects the health of your workers and the consumers. VOMAPOR is available in many different hardnesses, colours and thicknesses.

Sometimes VOMAPOR is mixed up with the blue Poly-foam which is the standard padding for industrial vacuum ironing tables. Compared to other foams which are offered for the same purpose our Poly-foam has an extraordinary high cubic weight which makes it resistant towards pressure and a special reticulation treatment for a superior permeability. Poly-foam is not as heat resistant as VOMAPOR silicone/foam but it is an excellent pad for ironing tables.

We are looking forward to give you more information about our wide range of heat and pressure resistant high quality products.

VOMAPOR for trouser presses
(with central stripe)
The VOMAPOR silicone/foam with 60 mm wide supersoft central stripe is especially designed for trouser leg presses. At pressing the crease you often have problems with shine at the side seam. For this reason we developed VOMAPOR sheets with a supersoft central stripe allowing the double seam to sink into the supersoft area whilst the crease is pressed at the firm sides.
Because these sheets are being produced out of one single piece of foam there will be no marks at the transition between the supersoft central stripe and the firm sides.
Size of sheets: 1350 x 600 x 10 mm.
