(Alliance News) - Zotefoams PLC on Thursday said it signed an agreement with Kennon Products to supply its Zotek F high-performance foam for use in medical facility doors.
Zotefoams is a Croydon, England-based cellular material technology producer.
Kennon is a Wyoming, US-based manufacturing service operating in the aviation and behavioural health sectors.
Zotek F foam will be used in Kennon's newest ligature-resistant patient safety door, Kennon Door 2.0, which is used in medical facilities to protect patients against self-harm.
The company said: "The softness of Zotek F and its light weight combine with breakaway magnetic hinges to save lives, as do its resistance to flame and - in the event of ignition - low smoke output."
Commenting on the agreement, Chief Executive Officer David Stirling said: "We were pleased to work closely with Kennon on this project, selecting and testing various Zotek F materials, while providing support and insight based on our previous experience of aviation applications and flame testing.
"This application has produced another 'first' for Zotek F and demonstrates the potential of the material to deliver benefits well beyond its current core markets of aviation and aerospace."
Shares in Zotefoams were up 2.7% at 381.00 pence each in London on Thursday afternoon.
