Description
This closed cell, cross-linked polyethylene block foam is easily fabricated and offers numerous benefits. Made of a large number of nitrogen cells held within polyethylene material, it is lightweight, completely odourless, and buoyant due to its water-resistant properties. It boasts exceptional chemical resistance to most oils, solvents, acids, and alkalis, making it ideal for various applications.
Closed cell foams are typically firmer and tougher than open cell foams. They are less springy and can recover from repeated impacts as each cell functions like a balloon, returning to its original shape. This PE Foam is recognized for its versatility, with common uses ranging from insulation and packaging to impact-absorbing sportswear and military-grade casing inserts.
The foam can be easily shaped and cut. It is thermoformable, can be sawed and laser cut, and can be routed cleanly using CNC machinery. Additionally, it can be split, heat laminated, and shaped with water jet equipment. For specific requirements regarding machined or finished PE Foam components, please inquire for more information.
