Description
The LD45 is a closed cell, cross-linked polyethylene block foam that is easily fabricated and offers a wealth of benefits. The foam is made up of a large number of nitrogen cells that are held within a polyethylene material. It is lightweight, completely odourless, and does not absorb water, making it buoyant. Being made of polyethylene, it has exceptional chemical resistance to most oils, solvents, acids, and alkalis.
Closed cell foams are usually harder, firmer, and tougher than open cell foams. They are also much less springy and can recover from repeated impacts, with each cell acting like a balloon, allowing the foam to bounce back to its original shape. PE Foam is widely regarded as one of the most versatile forms of foam available, with common uses ranging from insulation and packaging to impact-absorbing sportswear and military-grade casing inserts.
PE Foam can be easily shaped and cut. It can be thermoformed, sawed, and laser cut, and can be routed cleanly using CNC machinery. It is also easy to split and heat laminate, and it can be shaped using water jet equipment.
