Pinning/Setting Foam

The Pinning/Setting Foam stands as an essential component in the entomologist’s toolkit, engineered for both practicality and durability. This robust polyethylene foam is an ideal choice for setting out specimens due to its exceptional characteristics. Not only is it washable and extremely firm, but it also securely holds insect pins, preventing unwanted movements during the pinning process. Its unique composition ensures that it does not fracture, allowing it to be used repeatedly without compromising integrity. With the ability to secure pins in both vertical and horizontal positions, it offers versatility for various specimen orientations. Measuring 7mm thick, this foam is available in four conveniently sized options to accommodate diverse entomological needs. For those seeking an alternative optimized for display purposes, we recommend considering the E260 foam, noted for its whiter and smoother texture.
