Description
This premium closed cell polyethylene (PE) foam sheet offers a versatile, lightweight and durable solution for cushioning, sealing and surface protection in a wide range of design, architectural and industrial applications. Manufactured from closed cell PE foam, it provides excellent resistance to water absorption, chemicals and moisture, while maintaining reliable compressibility and long-term performance.
Supplied in a convenient 2000mm x 1000mm sheet format with a factory-applied self-adhesive backing, this foam is easy to cut, shape and install on-site. Available in a choice of thicknesses from 2mm up to 6mm and beyond, and in either white or black, it is ideal for creating clean, discreet padding, acoustic treatments, gaskets, display components and protective linings where appearance and functionality both matter.
Product Features
- Closed cell polyethylene foam construction for low water absorption and reliable cushioning performance.
- Standard sheet size of 2000mm x 1000mm for efficient coverage and straightforward handling.
- Available thicknesses include 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm and additional thicker options for tailored support and protection.
- Choice of white or black foam to suit visible installations, design schemes or discreet background use.
- Self-adhesive backing for quick, clean, peel-and-stick installation to most clean, dry surfaces.
- Lightweight material that is easy to cut, trim and shape using basic hand tools.
- Good resistance to many common chemicals, oils and solvents for demanding environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reduces installation time and labour costs thanks to the integral self-adhesive backing—no separate adhesives required in most cases.
- Closed cell structure helps prevent moisture ingress, making it suitable for damp, humid or splash-prone environments.
- Provides effective cushioning and impact absorption to protect surfaces, components and finished products during use or transit.
- Easy to fabricate on-site, allowing custom gaskets, pads and strips to be produced without specialist equipment.
- Attractive white and black colour options allow the foam to blend into decorative schemes or remain unobtrusive behind panels and fixtures.
- Chemical resistance and dimensional stability support long service life, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this self-adhesive PE foam sheet be cut to custom shapes and sizes?
Yes, the foam sheet can be easily cut and shaped using a sharp knife, scissors or a fine-toothed saw. For the best results, work on a stable cutting surface and use a straight edge for clean, accurate lines.
Is the foam suitable for outdoor or damp environments?
The closed cell structure provides low water absorption and good resistance to moisture, making it suitable for many damp or humid environments. However, long-term outdoor exposure may affect the adhesive and foam, so it is best used where it is sheltered or protected.
Will the self-adhesive backing stick to all surfaces?
The adhesive backing is designed to bond well to most clean, dry, smooth, non-porous surfaces such as metals, plastics and painted finishes. Highly textured, dusty or oily substrates may require additional surface preparation or a separate adhesive to achieve a reliable bond.
