Crosslinked Polyethylene Foam

Crosslinked Polyethylene Foam is a high density closed cell foam characterized by a compact feel and resistance to water that enables the material to be thermoformed or compression molded.  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 the packaging of medical products and equipment.  Our primary cross linked polyethylene foam partners are:

	Zotefoams manufactures a range of closed cell crosslinked polyolefin foams using a unique, environmentally friendly, clean, non-contaminating, nitrogen expansion process.
	Armacell OleTex® is a line of highly versatile polyolefin foam materials that are chemically cross-linked and moisture proof for use in a wide range of automotive, construction, packaging and recreation applications.
	Sekisui Voltek manufactures three lines of crosslinked polyethylene foam: Volara®, Volextra® and Minicel®. Within each line, one can modify elements like resin selection, additives, foaming technologies, crosslinking parameters, density and thickness to achieve the performance parameters required.
	Qycell Corporation specializes in the production of high performance closed-cell cross-linked polyolefin foams ideal for die cutting, laminating, welding, or thermoform processing.   Its primary materials include cross-linked, irradiated, EVA, and micro-cellular bun foams.
