Hi Alun, The material we use is cross linked polyethylene/EVA foam. We use the 4 PCF (pounds per cubic foot) variety it has tradenames of youngboard, artilon and epilon. (see http://smb.slac.stanford.edu/facilities/hardware/cassette_kit/dewar_schematics.pdf and http://smb.slac.stanford.edu/facilities/hardware/cassette_kit/FabricationDewarAndLid.pdf for how we have the large dewars for the SSRL cassette Clyde described fabricated. )

I have seen Judo mats made out of a foam that looks similar. Can anyone tell me what this foam is? Alun. -- Alun R.
