Alveocel types are defined by specific characteristics and based on different formulations:

• LA* Standard type
• LAG Standard type „grooved foam“
• LP* Polypropylene foam for improved temperature stability    
• LPG Polypropylene “grooved foam”

Furthermore Alveocel can be provided with various advanced properties such as

• Improved thermal insulation
• Water vapor barrier
• Scratch resistance
• Anti-slip    

* also available as flame retardant type
