The Durafoam OK Series is the proprietary technology of Monmouth Rubber & Plastics for its kinetically grafted blends. The Durafoam DK Series also carries the full UL 94 HF1 listing for flame; and therefore offers the fabricator a one-stop shop for flame resistance, ozone resistance, and oil resistance at a competitive price. The Durafoam DK Series is available in buns, sheets, rolls, and tape. Monmouth Rubber’s products are available at strategic locations worldwide.

The 1056 specification has been around for over 60 plus years with revisions every 5 plus years. This has left a trail of changes that need clarification to new and existing companies.
