Description
These premium closed cell polyethylene (PE) foam sheets provide a lightweight, durable and versatile solution for cushioning, protection and design applications. Manufactured from closed cell PE, they offer excellent shock absorption, buoyancy and water resistance in a compact, easy-to-handle format.
Supplied in a convenient 2000 x 1000mm sheet size and a choice of thicknesses from 3mm to 15mm, this foam is widely used in design, architectural, display and protective packaging projects. Available in white or black, the sheets can be cut, shaped and profiled to suit everything from padding and inserts to model-making, cladding and decorative detailing.
Product Features
- Closed cell polyethylene foam construction for low water absorption and reliable cushioning.
- Generous 2000 x 1000mm sheet size for efficient nesting and minimal waste.
- Available thicknesses: 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 15mm to suit a wide range of protective and structural requirements.
- Choice of colours: white for clean, high-visibility applications or black for discreet, low-reflection finishes.
- Lightweight and buoyant material, ideal for flotation aids, marine and water-adjacent uses.
- Chemical and moisture resistant, suitable for use in challenging environments and with many industrial products.
- Easy to cut, shape and bond using standard hand tools and compatible adhesives.
Key Features and Benefits
- Excellent impact and vibration absorption helps protect delicate items, architectural models and finished surfaces during storage, transit or display.
- Closed cell structure resists water ingress, making the foam suitable for damp, humid or splash-prone environments.
- Low weight reduces handling effort and overall load in packaging, models and fabricated components.
- Good chemical resistance allows use alongside many common cleaning agents, oils and solvents without rapid degradation.
- Clean, uniform surface in white or black offers an attractive, professional finish for design, display and exhibition work.
- Easy to fabricate on-site, saving time and enabling bespoke inserts, liners and protective pads to be produced to exact requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut and shape the closed cell PE foam sheet with standard tools?
Yes, the foam can be cut and shaped using common hand tools such as sharp knives, craft blades or fine-toothed saws. For more precise work, hot wire cutters or CNC equipment can also be used where available.
Is this foam suitable for outdoor or damp environments?
The closed cell structure provides low water absorption and good resistance to moisture, so it is suitable for many outdoor or damp applications. However, long-term outdoor exposure may cause some weathering, so lifespan will depend on conditions and UV exposure.
Can the foam sheets be laminated or bonded to other materials?
Yes, the sheets can be laminated or bonded to other substrates such as plastics, wood or metals using suitable adhesives designed for polyethylene foam. Surface preparation and adhesive selection are important to achieve a strong, reliable bond.
