PE Polyethylene foam
Ideal for applications in packaging, insulation, transportation, and water sports
What is polyethylene foam (PE)?
Polyethylene foam is one of the most widely used plastic foams, known for its durable, waterproof, and shock-absorbing properties. This closed-cell foam is produced through the polymerization of ethylene, a process in which small gas bubbles are trapped within the material. Ethylene itself is derived from sources such as naphtha, a petroleum-based product. Thanks to its unique cell structure, polyethylene foam is lightweight, flexible, and moisture-resistant, making it ideal for applications in packaging, insulation, transportation, and water sports.
Advantages of polyethylene foam
Polyethylene foam offers a combination of durability, water resistance, and shock absorption. It is lightweight, flexible, and resistant to chemicals, making it ideal for use in packaging, insulation, and protective applications. Due to its closed-cell structure, polyethylene foam does not absorb moisture and remains effective over time, even in demanding environments.
- Durable and reusable: Polyethylene foam has a long lifespan and can be reused multiple times without losing its shape or protective qualities. It is also recyclable. Visit our recycling page to see how we contribute to a better future.
- Resistant to chemicals and oils: Thanks to its closed-cell structure, polyethylene foam is resistant to chemicals, oils, and solvents, making it ideal for industrial applications.
- Easy to process and cut to size: Polyethylene foam can be easily cut, shaped, or laminated, making it perfect for customized solutions across various industries.
- Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation: Polyethylene foam helps retain heat and dampen sound, making it suitable for construction, automotive, and packaging purposes.
