Most closed cell foams are totally fine provided they don't contain an antimicrobial. Neoprene for one is perfect for quieting pumps and is probably even better in terms of material stability. You can get neoprene mat from foam shops or BRS. I used enolite as I had a bunch left over (I use it under my tank).
