Proven materials,
precisely converted.

At PNA Technologies, we stock and convert high-performance flexible materials and adhesive tapes from trusted manufacturers. By sourcing from proven brands, we match each application with the best material available — then convert it precisely to your specifications.

Material selection is where a part succeeds or fails — so we start from the broadest possible shelf.

We stock common materials including Monel® and aluminum wire-mesh sponge, Parker Chomerics CHO-SEAL® EMI shielding elastomers, EPDM and neoprene rubber, and PORON® polyurethane foam — and can source virtually anything else your specification calls for.

Our digital cutting technologies let us customize virtually any flexible material or tape for your application, efficiently, accurately, and repeatably — from single prototypes through full production.

01
