Polyethylene foam
Extruded polyethylene foam is suitable for a wide variety of applications. Whether it is used as a reflective insulation, water-repellent agent, an airtight gasket or protective packaging material, polyethylene foam is a clean, strong, flexible product that is easy to install.
Fine closed-cell cross-linked polyethylene foam exhibits a smooth, aesthetic appearance and offers excellent dimensional stability—characteristics that make it a versatile solution for a number of applications.
Extruded polyethylene foam
Extruded polyethylene foams are available in a range of densities. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is used widely in protective packaging applications. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is used in many different types of protection that require greater tear resistance. Available in sheets, rolls and die-cut parts.
Main characteristics:
- durable
- non-abrasive
- lightweight
- creep-resistant
- water- and steam-resistant
- mould-resistant
- CFC- and HCFC-free
- recyclable and reusable
Crosslinked polyethylene foam
Cross-linked polyethylene foams come in a variety of densities and degrees of firmness, and are available in rolls, sheets, double-sided adhesive strips and die‑cut parts (with or without adhesive).
Main characteristics:
- aesthetically appealing
- thermoformable
- excellent resistance to chemical products
- excellent thermal insulation capacity
- superior resistance to UV rays
- resistant to water and steam
- mould-resistant
- excellent dimensional stability
- good thickness precision
- non-toxic
