Description
This premium LD45 closed cell polyethylene foam sheet provides a lightweight, resilient and moisture-resistant solution for a wide range of insulation, cushioning and protective packaging applications. Supplied in a convenient 2000 x 1000mm sheet format, it is easy to handle, cut and fabricate to suit both industrial and design-led projects.
With excellent chemical resistance, low water absorption and consistent density, this versatile foam sheet is ideal for use in design and architectural environments where clean edges, reliable performance and colour choice are essential. Available in multiple thicknesses and colours, it offers a practical balance of impact protection, thermal insulation and aesthetic flexibility.
Product Features
- Standard sheet size of 2000 x 1000mm for efficient cutting, nesting and fabrication.
- Available thickness options of 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8mm, plus additional thicker grades for heavier-duty protection.
- Closed cell LD45 polyethylene foam construction for consistent cushioning and insulation performance.
- Choice of colours including white, black, blue, red, yellow, green, orange and grey to suit coding, branding or visual design schemes.
- Lightweight yet robust material that is easy to cut, shape, rout or laminate for custom applications.
- Excellent resistance to moisture and many common chemicals, helping protect sensitive items and surfaces.
- Smooth, fine-cell surface finish suitable for presentation, lining and decorative protective uses.
Key Features and Benefits
- Provides reliable impact and vibration cushioning, helping to reduce damage during transport, handling and installation.
- Closed cell structure offers low water absorption, making it suitable for damp or humid environments and for use as an effective moisture barrier.
- Good thermal insulation properties assist in controlling temperature fluctuations around packaged goods and insulated surfaces.
- Multiple thickness and colour options allow you to tailor protection, visibility and aesthetics to each specific project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut and shape the LD45 foam sheet with standard workshop tools?
Yes, the foam sheet can be cut and shaped using common tools such as sharp craft knives, hand saws or hot wire cutters. For clean, accurate edges, use a straight edge and a sharp blade, and make several light passes rather than one deep cut.
Is this closed cell foam suitable for use in damp or humid environments?
Yes, the closed cell structure provides low water absorption and good moisture resistance, making it suitable for use in damp or humid environments. However, as with any material, it should be used within its recommended temperature and chemical exposure limits.
Can the foam sheets be laminated or bonded together to achieve thicker sections?
Yes, the sheets can be laminated or bonded using compatible adhesives designed for polyethylene foam. This allows you to build up thicker pads or blocks where extra cushioning or structural depth is required.
