EPE30 Closed Cell Expanded Polyethylene Foam Sheet

EPE foam is a low cost expanded foam with non-crosslinked and closed cell structure produced using low density Polyethylene resins with HCFC & CFC free gases. Also commonly known in varying industries by some of their trademark names like Stratocell® they come in sheets/planks in varying thicknesses which are then usually cut to size with vertical saw cutting or CNC routing technology. This product is generally laminated with a contact adhesive or by heating the surface until it starts to melt and applying pressure to a separate piece. EPE foam is lightweight, flexible and highly resilient, which is an ideal foam material for protective cushioning and general packaging usage. EPE Foam is also non-abrasive and chemically inert, water resistant and environmentally 100% recyclable. As an economically priced closed cell foam, EPE foam is quite popular to use for various moisture resistance and thermal insulation required applications where price is important. Because of its great strength to weight ratio, you find them in basic foam packaging, floor underlay, furniture edge protection and water flotation. Also available in anti-static and FR grades on request.
