Closed cell foam

[bigwow]

When I built BigWow, foam sandwich construction, I used Unitex closed cell polyurethane foam. I am just about to make some changes and will require another sheet of foam, Unitex tell me they no manufacture closed cell foam. Any formites know where I can source closed cell foam?
Thanks
John

The common foam core materials are Herex and Airex, imported by Impag. You can get it in smaller quantities from the likes of CFS. There is also divynicell which is less easy to find. Beware- it is expensive - about the same price as marine ply!

Tell me about it, when I built BigWow I spent 5K with Unitex on the foam alone. Trouble is they no longer make it and I used 1/2" foam and it seems CFS foam starts at 1" which will be a bit of a problem as I'm extending the hulls and need the same thickness.
