Cross Linked Polyethylene Foam
Chemically cross linked polyethylene foam is an extremely fine celled foam ideal for projects and applications that require thicker foam.
Cross linked polyethylene foam. It has many of the same properties as polyethylene foam but also has the ability to protect class a surfaces and is consequently used extensively in the packaging of medical products and equipment. Some are extruded and laminated to achieve the manufacturers desired thickness others are fully extruded using plate compressing technology and lastly some are produced using a free. Cross linked polyethylene foam is a durable closed cell material with strong impact damping and chemical resistance characteristics. They also have excellent buoyancy and resist mildew.
Cross linked polyethylene commonly abbreviated pex xpe or xlpe is a form of polyethylene with cross links it is used predominantly in building services pipework systems hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems domestic water piping and insulation for high tension high voltage electrical cables. With a smooth pleasant feel combined with superior physical and chemical properties cross linked polyethylene foam is the solution for an array of applications that demand thicker sections of closed cell foam. With a smooth pleasant feel combined with superior physical and chemical properties our cross linked polyethylene 2lb foam is the solution for an array of applications that demand thicker sections of closed cell material. Chemically cross linked polyethylene foam is an extremely fine celled foam ideal for projects and applications that require thicker foam.
Cross linked polyethylene foam is a closed cell foam characterized by a compact feel and resistance to water. These sheets are made of cross linked polyethylene so they are stronger and more chemical resistant than other types of polyethylene foam. Chemically cross linked foam is an extremely fine celled foam ideal for projects and applications that require thicker foam. With a smooth pleasant feel combined with superior physical and chemical properties cross linked polyethylene foam is the solution for an array of applications that demand thicker sections of closed cell foam.
It is also ozone resistant and has many of the same properties as polyethylene foam but also has the ability to protect class a surfaces. Cross linked polyethylene foam also known as pe foam is manufactured in sheets and rolls in a wide range of densities and colours both in the uk and worldwide. Its physical properties make it well suited to applications in athletic padding protective padding product packaging costume and prop design models and more. Cross linked polyethylene foam also known as xlpe is a closed cell foam characterized by a compact feel and resistance to water.
These sheets are widely used in packaging applications to absorb shock and damp vibration.
