PE Foam

PE foam, known as Polyethylene Foam (Polyethylene Foam), is a lightweight material made from low-density polyethylene through the foaming process. It has good cushioning properties, thermal insulation and sound absorption, and has a wide range of applications in packaging, construction, automobile manufacturing and many other fields.

Features of PE foam

  1. Lightweight: due to its internal structure contains a large number of bubbles, making PE foam is much lighter than the same volume of solid materials.
  2. Strong cushioning protection: can effectively absorb the impact, to provide excellent protection for the packaged goods. 3.
  3. waterproof and moisture-proof: does not absorb water, even in a humid environment can maintain the original form and function.
  4. chemical corrosion resistance: good resistance to most acid and alkali solutions.
  5. Environmentally friendly and recyclable: the raw materials used in the production process are relatively environmentally friendly and can be recycled in a specific way after disposal.
  6. Easy to process molding: can be cut into different shapes and sizes according to the needs of the product, easy to use.

PE foam applications

  1. Packaging industry
    1. Packaging of electronic products: such as cell phones, computers and other precision instruments external packaging, the use of its excellent cushioning properties to prevent damage during transportation.
    2. Fragile protection: glass products, ceramic ware and other fragile items lined with filler.
    3. Food preservation: some types of PE foam can also be used as food-grade packaging materials to help extend the shelf life of food.
  2. Construction field
    1. Laying under the floor: used as sound insulation layer or heat preservation layer.
    2. Roof insulation: placed between the roof and tiles to enhance the overall heat insulation effect of the house.
    3. Pipe insulation: wrapped around the outside of water pipes to reduce heat loss and prevent condensation.
  3. Automobile Manufacturing
    1. Interior parts production: seat cushion, door panel lining and other parts are made of PE foam, which improves riding comfort and reduces the weight of the car body at the same time.
    2. Engine compartment sound insulation: installed in the area around the engine to reduce the degree of noise transmission to the cabin.
  4. Other aspects
    1. Sporting goods: make yoga mats, swimming floats and other fitness equipment.
    2. Crafts and Gifts: used as decorative materials or basic supports for handicrafts.
    3. Medical and health care: some medical equipment packaging materials will also choose PE foam.
