XLPE FOAM

Product Description

XLPE Foam (Cross-Linked Polyethylene Foam) Description

XLPE foam is a lightweight, flexible, and closed-cell foam made from polyethylene that has been chemically or physically cross-linked to improve its performance. The cross-linking process enhances strength, durability, and resistance compared to non-cross-linked polyethylene foams.

Key Characteristics:

• Closed-cell structure: Does not absorb water and provides excellent insulation

• Lightweight & flexible: Easy to cut, shape, and fabricate

• High shock absorption: Excellent cushioning and impact resistance

• Thermal insulation: Reduces heat transfer effectively

• Sound insulation: Helps dampen noise and vibration

• Chemical resistance: Resistant to oils, solvents, and many chemicals

• Durable & resilient: Retains shape after repeated compression

• Non-toxic & odorless: Safe for a wide range of applications

Common Applications:

• Packaging and protective cushioning

• Automotive interiors and insulation

• HVAC insulation and sealing

• Sports and fitness mats

• Footwear insoles

• Construction expansion joints and underlayment

• Medical and healthcare products

XLPE foam is valued for its balance of strength, flexibility, and insulation properties, making it suitable for both industrial and consumer applications.
